ColorOS 16 Set for Global Unveil: A New Era of Smoothness, Intelligence, and Seamless Connectivity

OPPO has revealed its first look at ColorOS 16, the latest version of its mobile operating system, launching with the upcoming Find X9 Series. The update sets a new standard across smoothness, intelligence and connectivity, delivering world-class responsiveness and game-changing cross-platform features for OPPO users worldwide.

Silky Smoothness Everywhere

ColorOS 16 elevates system fluidity with Seamless Animation, building on ColorOS 15’s Parallel Animation to deliver interactions that feel instant and perfectly connected. From app launches to gesture navigation, every motion now flows naturally thanks to the new Luminous Rendering Engine, which synchronises visual elements for uninterrupted smoothness. Complementing this is the Trinity Engine, combining chip-level optimisations with smart resource management for sustained performance and efficiency. Even entry-level devices benefit through “Project Breeze,” ensuring a fast and responsive experience across all hardware tiers.

Refined Design Inspired by Nature

ColorOS 16 debuts a refreshed design inspired by natural light and shadow, offering a cleaner and more intuitive interface. Users can personalise their experience with Motion Photo or video wallpapers, custom fonts, or AI-recommended text styles. It also enhances the Always-On Display with a new full-screen mode, seamlessly transitioning from AOD to the lock screen for a more unified visual experience.

With Flux Home Screen, users can now long-press any folder or app icon to resize it into various shapes, such as tall, wide, or large formats. As a folder is resized, the surrounding home screen layout dynamically adapts to the new shape, accompanied by fluid animations powered by the All-New Luminous Rendering Engine.

AI-Powered Editing to Enhance your Creativity

ColorOS 16 adds AI Portrait Glow to its suite of photo editing solutions. This improves portraits taken in poor lighting by optimising skin tones and balancing light with a single tap.

AI Portrait Glow joins OPPO’s powerful suite of AI editing tools, including AI Eraser, AI Unblur, and AI Reflection Remover, giving users quick, one-tap ways to refine their photos.

The built-in video editor has been upgraded with Master Cut, offering trimming, speed controls, music integration, cropping, text, filters and manual adjustments for contrast, brightness and saturation.

Seamless Connectivity Across Ecosystems

OPPO continues to make it easier to use devices across ecosystems. Last year’s Touch to Share introduced smooth transfers between OPPO ColorOS 15 devices and iOS devices, followed by O+ Connect for advanced Mac integration with Find N5.

With ColorOS 16, O+ Connect supports both Mac and Windows PCs. Users can manage phone files from their computer or remotely control their computer from their phone.

Screen Mirroring lets users cast up to five apps from their phone and control them using a mouse and keyboard, particularly useful for situations where handling the phone directly is inconvenient, such as during a meeting or a lecture.
