Oppo has now announced its updated custom user interface — ColorOS 6. The newly announced Android skin is now available on the Oppo F11 Pro. It comes with several improvements compared to its predecessor.
In terms of design, the company says that it has opted for a border-less symmetry which is based on invisible lines and grids. With this, the stock applications now offer proper full-screen experience with cleaner borders and other UI elements.
The company has also shifted towards a lighter color-tone which resembles the Google Material Design language with plenty of white. However, the company is offering users the ability to replace the white color with their own color choice through theme engine.
Apart from the design related changes, the new custom skin also brings in several operational changes as well. The navigation panel now includes shortcuts and the app drawer has also been added, which can be accessed through the swipe-up gesture from the home screen.
In order to reduce power consumption, the company has introduced a feature called “AI Cold Storage” which uses artificial intelligence to freeze background apps. It also comes with a “Remote Guard” feature that lets parents monitor their children’s phone usage.
With a feature called “Touch Boost”, the company promises up to 22 percent faster touch response while the “Frame Boost” feature offers up to 40 percent improvement in frame rate stability. Both of these features are the part of Game Boost 2.0 mode on the ColorOS 6.
It also comes with System Boost and App Boost mode, which as the name itself suggests, improves the general performance of the system and app launches. The new ColorOS 6 also comes with improvements for app notifications, night mode for photography, among others.
As for the availability, the ColorOS 6 is available for the Oppo F11 Pro users out-of-the-box. It will also be present in the upcoming Opp Reno smartphone, that is scheduled to launch on 10th April. Next month, the update for this new interface will be rolled out to Oppo R15 and R15 Dream Mirror Edition.
