Oppo and OnePlus are gearing up to unveil the ColorOS 15 and OxygenOS 15 soon. These are the brands’ latest generation of Android custom skins that are expected to bring new features, improvements, and much more. But in a recent leak, the first look of the OxygenOS 15 and ColorOS 15 was revealed. So why does it remind us of something we’ve already seen on iPhones?
ColorOS 15 & OxygenOS 15: Taking a Page from Apple’s Playbook?
In a recent SmartPrix report, the first look of both the ColorOS 15 and OxygenOS 15 custom skins were shared. These came from early beta testers in China. Looking at these images, we can see smooth new animations, blurring, a redesigned control panel, and a new Always on Display transition. There was even a Dynamic Island-like feature as well. If you haven’t picked it up yet, all of these seem directly inspired by the iOS on Apple iPhones.
Dynamic Island was first introduced on the iPhone 14 Pro series, and it is arriving on the next gen Oppo and OnePlus custom skins. You can apparently save up to 4 apps here and will likely be situated around the punch hole cutout on the phone’s display. We can even see it work with certain activities like order status, music, and more. Similarly, even the advanced blur feature on the notification shade and control panel is reminiscent of iOS as well.
But keeping all of these aside, there are plenty of new features and functions on the ColorOS 15 and OxygenOS 15. Animations are seeing an overhaul, allowing users to seamlessly switch between multiple apps. This should make the entire experience fluid. Lastly, the AOD Lock Screen Transition feature a new transition when moving from the Always On Display screen to the Lock Screen. The ColorOS 15 is set to launch on 21st October 2024, so stick around for more updates.
