Chinese smartphone manufacturer OPPO is all set to unveil the latest iteration of their Android UI, ColorOS 7, on November 20. In preparation for the launch, the ColorOS team have teased another new feature of ColorOS 7, and this time it’s one that’s particularly relevant to Chinese users. ColorOS 7 essentially notifies users of nearby power bank renting stations if the phone’s battery gets low.
Power bank renting stations are a huge thing in China right now, and the ColorOS team are capitalizing on it. The feature itself is pretty self explanatory. If your phone is low on battery, it’ll notify you when there’s a power bank station nearby, as well as what sort of connectors are available. It’s a novel idea, and could come in handy quite often.
Oppo is also going to unveil ColorOS 7 in India on November 26. This is the first time the smartphone-maker has planned a launch event for the Android-based OS outside of China. Oppo promises the new update will come with ‘borderless aesthetics, fresh visuals and intuitive platform’, but we also expect to see some region specific features there too.
Outside of these few feature reveals, there isn’t much else known about ColorOS 7. We don’t know much about the design language, the themes or the upgrades made behind the scenes. It is the next big iteration of the UI however, so we should expect some big changes. Thankfully, the team seems to be pretty passionate, so we’re looking forward to what comes out of it.
