OPPO released ColorOS Developer Preview based on Android 12 on Find X3 Pro. This year, Android 12 focuses on system UI as well as security and privacy, which will be the main principles for ColorOS as well. To help consumers better express themselves, OPPO is working to make ColorOS a more intuitive and a system that allows more personalizations from users, especially in terms of UI and UX. The company is also making efforts to give users more control and transparency regarding data security and privacy.
OPPO believes that prosperity of the Android ecosystem will lead to long-term success of the company and the industry. Last year, OPPO was one of the first brands to launch Android 11, regardless of the pandemic outbreak and difficulties in internal de-coupling. A variety of customized functions including Three Finger Screenshot, FlexDrop were added to the system to provide faster and more user-friendly experiences to developers and users.
“We are glad to have Google as a long-term partner as we have had successful collaborations over the years, including working together to guarantee ColorOS keeps up with the latest version of Android,” Andy Wu, Vice President and President of Software Engineering Business Unit said. “Currently we have close to 400 million monthly active users of ColorOS around the world. With Android 12, we will continue our momentum to provide developers and users the most vibrant experience.”
Polished experience and better performance
Following the announcement of Android 12 Developer Preview Program, OPPO unveils Android 12 Beta 1 on OPPO Find X3 Pro, allowing developers worldwide to explore the latest software updates. Android 12 continues to put privacy and security at the core, while featuring a more personalized experience and improved performance.
Android 12 is designed to give users more transparency and control by allowing users to give only their approximate location to apps, block the use of camera and microphone in quick settings, and put inactive applications that have not been used for over 90 days in hibernation, and more.
Key updates on the user experience side include more compatibility with multimedia formats and support for more content insertion. The system has also been improved in UI details, featuring new functional bars and updated operating modes. There is good news for gamers as well. In Android 12, apps are able to provide audio-coupled haptic feedback through the phone’s vibrations.
Deepening collaborations with Android to allow more customizations
As part of OPPO’s long-term global business strategy, the company is continuously deepening its collaborations with Android to bring more innovative and customized experiences to its users and developers.
Looking ahead to a smarter 5G era, OPPO and Android work together towards extending mobile experiences and services to more existing and potential users.
