ColorOS 16: A Detailed Review

This video provides an in-depth review of ColorOS 16, the latest software update for OPPO devices, specifically highlighting the experience on the OPPO F9 Pro. The reviewer expresses strong satisfaction with ColorOS, considering it one of the most enjoyable Android interfaces currently available.

Design and User Interface Evolution

A significant point is the evolution of Chinese smartphone interfaces, including ColorOS. The reviewer notes that ColorOS 16, unlike older versions from 5-7 years ago, is no longer overly flashy or gaudy. Instead, it features a more refined, unified, and elegant design.

• UI Enhancements: Specific improvements in ColorOS 16 include more aesthetically pleasing rounded corners on quick setting toggles and sliders, a noticeable upgrade from ColorOS 15.
• iOS Influence: The design language of ColorOS 16 bears a strong resemblance to iOS. This is a deliberate strategy by OPPO, initiated in previous versions, to attract users transitioning from iPhones. For users who use both iOS and Android devices, this similarity creates a smoother transition experience, with less drastic differences in icons and overall design.
• Typography: The font in ColorOS 16 has been updated to a more modern and less "Chinese" aesthetic compared to ColorOS 15.

Animation and Smoothness

ColorOS has consistently excelled in animation, and ColorOS 16 continues this trend with further refinements.

• Smoothness Beyond Hardware: The reviewer emphasizes that smoothness is not solely dependent on hardware (like 120Hz displays found in most high-end Android phones). The algorithms and implementation of animations by each manufacturer significantly impact the perceived smoothness.
• App Transitions: ColorOS 16 offers excellent animation for app launches and transitions between apps, with precise timing and direction of movement contributing to a fluid user experience.
• Comparison to iOS: The animations in ColorOS 16 are described as being on par with, and in some instances even faster and smoother than, iOS.
• Demo Style: While OPPO demonstrates smoothness by rapidly opening and closing apps, the reviewer prefers to judge smoothness based on the natural animation of opening a single app.

Feature Parallels with iOS

OPPO has incorporated several features in ColorOS that are reminiscent of iOS, aiming to ease the transition for iPhone users.

• Dynamic Island Inspiration: Although OPPO phones lack a physical Dynamic Island, ColorOS 16 mimics its design. When playing music or videos, a dynamic area around the camera cutout appears, allowing for quick media controls. This is a highly appreciated feature as it provides convenient control without needing to access the full control center.
• Lock Screen Customization: ColorOS 16 offers extensive lock screen customization options, comparable to iOS. Users can personalize:
  • Lock screen appearance
  • Wallpaper
  • Widgets
  • Clock styles
  • Color and font boldness

These customization features are not just for personalization but also serve to make the ColorOS experience more familiar to users coming from iOS, ensuring they don't feel a lack of essential features. OPPO openly acknowledges this strategy to attract Apple users.

File Sharing and Cross-Platform Connectivity

ColorOS facilitates seamless file sharing, both within the OPPO ecosystem and with other platforms.

• Oppo to Oppo: Devices can share files by simply tapping them together. This complements existing methods like Nearby Share.
• Oppo to iPhone:
  • Wireless Photo Transfer: Users can wirelessly send photos to iPhones. While not a direct AirDrop equivalent, it requires the OPPO Connect app on the iPhone.
  • Speed and Quality: Once the app is installed, file transfer is very fast and preserves the full quality of the files, including animated images (which can be viewed with Live Preview on iPhone).
• Mac Integration: Users with Macs can connect their OPPO F9 Pro or other ColorOS devices to their Mac for remote control, file exchange, and controlling certain phone features from the computer. This feature has been available in previous ColorOS versions.

AI Capabilities in ColorOS 16

ColorOS 16 integrates a robust suite of AI features, leveraging both Google's and OPPO's own AI models.

• Google AI Features:
  • Gemini: Includes Gemini Live, allowing users to point their camera and ask questions.
  • Circle to Search: A standard feature on high-end Android phones, including OPPO's F9 series and others.
• Oppo AI Suite: This proprietary suite is integrated into high-end OPPO devices.
  • Voice Transcription: Records voice in Vietnamese and converts it into text for storage, sharing, or faster searching.
  • Writing Assistance: An AI tool that assists with writing tasks and can be used in any app that allows text input, not just OPPO's native apps. It can generate long texts from prompts, summarize content, and correct spelling errors. The reviewer rates this feature as comparable to Apple Intelligence and even superior in interface to Samsung's Galaxy AI writing tools.
  • Document Processing: Within the document app, users can:
    • Summarize PDF files.
    • Translate text in Word or text files while preserving images and formatting. This eliminates the need for third-party translation apps.
• AI MySpace (Mental Space): A new feature in ColorOS 16, particularly useful with the F9 Pro's dedicated Snapkey.
  • Functionality: When a user encounters something they want to save (e.g., a restaurant, recipe, or any interesting content), pressing the Snapkey takes a screenshot.
  • AI Analysis: The system analyzes the screenshot to identify the source app, the content of the image, and extracts any text.
  • Interactive Storage: Once indexed, users can ask questions about the saved information, receive suggestions, and get context-specific information (e.g., how to cook a dish).
  • OPPO's Model: This feature is notable as it utilizes OPPO's own AI model for the international version of ColorOS, indicating OPPO's development of its own AI infrastructure for global markets.
• Web/App Summarization: OPPO AI can summarize entire web pages or open applications.
• AI Photo Editing: The Oppo AI suite includes features for:
  • AI photo editing
  • Removing shadows from photos
  • AI beautification
  • Removing unwanted objects from photos

Conclusion

The reviewer reiterates their strong liking for ColorOS, having expressed this preference multiple times previously. The video serves as a timely review, coinciding with OPPO's sponsorship. The overall sentiment is that ColorOS 16 offers a polished, feature-rich, and user-friendly experience, with a clear strategy to appeal to a broad range of users, including those transitioning from iOS.
