BBK-owned smartphone OEM, Oppo, becoming one of the first companies to bring Android 11-based UI, has unveiled the ColorOS 11 along with instructions to get the beta UI and the complete roll-out plan.
Apart from coming up with more streamlined visuals and providing all the key features that come with Android 11, ColorOS 11 has a couple of other exciting features as well. Here’s what’s new:
- New Animation Engine: The new animation engine is called UI First 2.0 that promises better RAM utilization and improved frame-rate suitability.
- Dark Mode: The dark mode now comes with three color schemes featuring varying darkness intensity that can be adjusted to match the user’s home page icons and wallpaper.
- Always-on Display: The always-on display now lets the users choose from several pre-loaded customizations.
