Oppo announces ColorOS 15 with new design language, focus on AI
Ahead of the anticipated launch of its Find X8 series flagships, Oppo announced ColorOS 15 â its Android 15-based skin.
It features an updated look with new icons, dynamic lighting effects, natural light, and shadow elements across the UI. The new Aurora and Tidal Engine brings system-level rendering allowing you to run app animations in parallel so you can have responsive and lag-free animations when quickly switching between apps.
The system features new motion effects with consistently smooth animations and several system-level optimizations that led to an 18% improvement in app responsiveness and 26% faster app installation process. Oppo is also bringing a system-level dynamic cache allocation that manages resources in real time and ensures fluidity during operation.
Elsewhere, Oppo has finally caved and separated the notification shade from the control center.
AI plays a big part in ColorOS 15. The companyâs XiaoBu Assistant can be summoned on any screen and users can have natural conversations with continuous content-aware queries. Thereâs a circle to search option too which works on any screen.
Oppo is also bringing overhauled AI image processing with one-touch person and reflection removal, blur removal for portraits, and a clever image upscaling feature. Live Photos now support electronic image stabilization (EIS)
There are several AI additions to other areas like the notes app which can format and summarize notes. Thereâs a new document scan feature with embedded summarization and translation between languages. The voice recorder can also summarize and transcribe your recordings.
ColorOS 15 will come pre-installed on the upcoming Oppo Find X8 series and OnePlus 13 devices in China. Older models including the Find X7-series, Find N3, Find N3 Flip and OnePlus Ace 3 series will get the update starting in November.
