Google is expected to release Android 12 stable this month. Certain partner OEMs are also anticipated to drop new versions of their mobile software based on the latest version of Android following that. One such company is OPPO and it has officially started teasing its next major release called ColorOS 12.
The official ColorOS Weibo account of ColorOS shared a teaser image for ColorOS 12 earlier today. The picture shows the ColorOS Clock icon showing 12 o’clock. The post reads that the company will share more information in detail tomorrow (September 7).
We believe OPPO will be announcing the date for ColorOS 12 launch event tomorrow, which was recently leaked – September 13. For those who don’t know, OPPO held a dedicated event for ColorOS 11 last year after Android 11 hit the stable channel.
Hence, the same could happen this year. This means Android 12 Stable could get announced as early as today or some other day before the OPPO event.
As of now, we only know a few tidbits regarding ColorOS 12 based on Android 12. The new OPPO software is said to come with a new feature called ‘Cross Screen Interconnection’, which is nothing but a clone of HUAWEI Multi Screen Collaboration. The company is also tipped to implement features and design languages from various other Chinese Android skins like MIUI, Flyme, Smartisan OS, and HydrogenOS.
ColorOS 12 will not only be found on OPPO smartphones but also on OnePlus and realme. That’s because OnePlus phones sold in China run ColorOs for OnePlus, whereas in international markets, the same software with some tweaks is called OxygenOS. Lastly, it is a known fact that realme UI is nothing but ColorOS with certain changes.
