Smartphone brands that sell laptops have a software feature that enables users to control their phones from their computers. The most notable such solutions are HUAWEI Multi Screen and Samsung DeX. Even Xiaomi has been public testing one called MIUI+ for almost a year now.

We recently reported that OPPO is working on a similar feature called ‘Cross Screen Interconnection’. It is currently under testing and is said to debut with ColorOS 12.

But it looks like the realme version of this same feature could go official as soon as this month. As per the latest teaser for realme Book, the brand will be calling this feature ‘PC Connect’.

For those who don’t know, realme and OnePlus are sister brands of OPPO, and they come under Ouija Holdings Ltd. The duo shares almost everything with OPPO, including software. In simpler words, the smartphones from these three brands run ColorOS with some modifications to differentiate themselves.

Since realme happens to be the first out of the three Oujia brands to release laptops, it gets the first dibs at the new cross-device connection feature. As of now, we don’t know anything about this feature. It’s also not clear whether the global version will be different from the Chinese.

Smartphone brands that sell computers offer a software feature that enables a connection between these two products. This enables users to do a lot more. Different companies offer different solutions. Some of the notable ones include HUAWEI Multi Screen Collaboration, Microsoft Your Phone, Samsung DeX, and Xiaomi MIUI+. Now, as per a tipster, OPPO will be introducing its own take on this feature with the release of ColorOS 12.

All three Oujia brands, namely OPPO, OnePlus, and realme are growing rapidly in the global markets with the fall of HUAWEI and HONOR. The three brands are also expected to enter new product categories like tablets and laptops.

Hence, ColorOS, the common Android skin used by them is expected to adopt new features as required. Therefore, we are not surprised to learn that OPPO is indeed working on HUAWEI Multi Screen Collaboration clone for its devices.

As per images shared by a leaker on Weibo, OPPO will be calling this feature ‘Cross Screen Interconnection’ (translated) in China. The tipster says that this feature, which is currently under testing will be introduced in ColorOS 12.

ColorOS 12 based on Android 12 will be the next major version of the OPPO group’s mobile operating system. Not much is known about this software at the moment. But we expect to learn more about it before its official release in a month or two.

That being said, ColorOS Cross Screen Interconnection should be initially limited to China as part of beta testing. However, it will most likely make its way to other markets once it becomes stable enough.
