OPPO Launches ColorOS 13 with New Features

OPPO’s ColorOS 13, which is based on latest version of Android, is now available for global users. This OS is based on Android 13 and includes a number of Android 13 features along with a brand-new “Aquamorphic Design” to provide a concise and comfortable visual experience and user-friendly interface. ColorOS 13 features OPPO’s latest tech innovations, including smart multi-device connections to further enhance productivity.

New Aquamorphic Design
Inspired by the way water acts in nature, the Aquamorphic design is made to look like a fluid, vibrant, and inclusive UI. ColorOS 13 features a new Theme Palette inspired by the changing color of light between sunrise and sunset at sea level, while the new system font improves the readability of system text in any language. With other upgrades like a Card-styled Layout, ColorOS 13 is designed to deliver a concise and comfortable visual experience.

ColorOS 13 also delivers a more intuitive user experience through the integration of different Aquamorphic effects into the system’s animations, UI, and Quantum Animation Engine with new Behavioral Prediction. With an adaptive layout of different screen sizes, and highly recognizable icons to enhance readability and overall ease of use.

Fundamental performance
OPPO’s Dynamic Computing Engine debuts in ColorOS 13, the company’s in-house system-level technical solutions designed to increase performance and stability, as well as to improve the user experience overall. The Engine brings two major improvements to ColorOS 13, including increased battery life and the ability to keep more apps open in the background.

By achieving a better balance between high performance and low power consumption, OPPO’s Dynamic Computing Engine extends battery life. Keeping more apps alive in the background allows you to switch between them without losing their status or experiencing lag.

Brand-new smart features
A wide range of smart features are available in ColorOS 13 that cover every aspect of life and work. Besides expressing your personality, the Smart Always-On Display in ColorOS 13 now enables users to control music playback and other functions more conveniently and provides faster access to information. OPPO has partnered with world-leading software and service providers including Bitmoji and Spotify, to provide a wide range of convenient and personalized experiences through the Smart Always-On Display.

Due to OPPO’s industry-leading LTPO2.0 technology, the Always-On Display refresh rate is reduced to just 1 hertz to save 30% power consumption for some scenarios. Other smart home screen management features like Large Folders, Shelf, and Home Screen Widget also help users to easily and quickly access the information they need in the way that works best for them.

Since the Covid-19 pandemic began, online meetings have become increasingly common, so OPPO has developed its first Meeting Assistant designed specifically for online meetings. Online appointments can be made more stable by automatically prioritizing wireless data packages through Meeting Assistant. Also, banner notifications have been simplified to minimize distractions, while OPPO Notes shortcuts can be added to take notes in a small pop-up window.

One of the biggest updates to arrive on ColorOS 13 is the improved multi-device user experience. Multi-screen Connect now supports seamless connectivity between smartphones and OPPO Pad Air as well as between smartphones and PCs. This boosts productivity and convenience for file transfers tasks and support for more file formats.

Privacy and security
ColorOS is designed with high priority on privacy and security. The underlying privacy protection features of Android 13 are integrated into ColorOS 13. After a short period of time, the system will automatically delete the clipboard history, preventing malware from leaking sensitive information. With Nearby Wi-Fi, users can enjoy Wi-Fi without disclosing their specific location.

OPPO’s self-developed technology plays an equally important role in boosting privacy and security. Based on the on-device algorithm model, Auto Pixelate can recognize and blur out profile photos and names in chat screenshots automatically with one tap, and the new Private Safe is encrypted with the widely-used Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) to provide high levels of security. ColorOS 13 provides privacy and safety protections that users can trust based on authoritative security and privacy authentication standards such as ePrivacy, TRUSTe, ISO27701, and ISO27001.

Explore new android experiences
OPPO has been worked closely with Google during the development of ColorOS 13 to explore ways of bringing new value to the Android OS experience. OPPO’s flagship Find N foldable smartphone and Find X5 Pro flagship smartphone were announced as two of the first smartphones to receive the Android 13 Beta update. OPPO has also launched ColorOS developer versions based on the Android 13 Beta and will continue to work together with Google to build a rich Android ecosystem.

ColorOS 13 rollout plan and upgrade policy
ColorOS 13 is expected to reach over 60 countries and regions within the next year, as well as 160 million users. This is OPPO’s most ambitious update plan it’s ever attempted. The Find X5 Pro and Find X5 will receive ColorOS 13 today along with the official release of the Find X5 Pro. From 2023 onwards, OPPO will bring ColorOS 13 to over 20 more devices.
