In recent years, the speed of smart phone replacement has been accelerating, but most of the domestic users' replacement frequency has begun to decline, generally two to three years is the more mainstream replacement frequency, so whether mobile phone manufacturers can continue to update and maintain old models for several years has also become an important factor for everyone to buy. For example, apple mobile phone is a good example, the iPhone 6S released 7 years ago can still adapt to the latest iOS15, and on the domestic mobile phone side, OPPO's ColorOS system is also one of the outstanding players.
Since the launch of the ColorOS 12 system in October last year, OPPO has frequently received "reminders" from users, and now the official version has been opened for upgrades as many as 39 models. On the occasion of April, ColorOS official blog officially announced the upgrade adaptation plan for the second quarter of 2022, covering more than a dozen models, of which the Reno 10x zoom version released in 2019, reno3 Pro, and the Find X2 series released two years ago and other classic models are included, are very popular models at that time, and today's ownership is not low, and it is definitely good news for old users to get new system push upgrades.
You know, for many manufacturers, 2-3 years ago models have basically been excluded from the support plan of the new system, and OPPO can continue to maintain updates, adapting colorOS 12 official version for these models, reflecting OPPO's concern for old users and quality services.
As an update of the large version of the ColorOS system, there may be many people whose impression of ColorOS 12 is just stuck in the two aspects of becoming smoother and more functions, today I will take you to review what new features the new system has upgraded to see if it is worth updating. One of the most intuitive changes is the upgrade of the system UI, which adopts a new acrylic style icon design, adds light and detail, and looks more simple and advanced. At the same time, the notification bar and card page have also been redesigned, and the visual beauty is better.
At the same time, in terms of functions, ColorOS 12 also adds new functions such as speed glance cards, Omoji avatars, cross-screen interconnection, etc., of which quick glance cards can provide users with small cards of three sizes, such as large, medium and small, and can directly interact from the cards when they need to open the function, making the operation more simple. Coupled with the newly upgraded intelligent sidebar 2.0, it brings the industry's first scene function, which can judge user needs according to the use of the scene, such as providing intelligent subtitles when watching the video, or identifying the background music in the video, which is more practical and playable, which is still quite meaningful for old users.
It is worth mentioning that on the newly upgraded iteration of ColorOS 12.1, OPPO has also added functions such as air gestures, hidden camera detection, notification intelligent hiding, and new picture recognition of the small cloth screen, further improving and upgrading the functionality of the system. Take the OPPO Find X5 Pro with ColorOS 12.1 as an example, as long as the air gesture is turned on in the auxiliary function, in daily use, the user can answer incoming calls, switch videos and other operations by waving the wrist over the air, which is very practical in some specific scenarios, such as when eating snacks while brushing vibrato, you can directly switch videos by waving your wrist, and don't worry about dirtying the phone, the experience is more convenient, but it should be noted that this function is currently only Find X5 Pro is available.
There is also a new picture recognition function on the small cloth recognition screen, which is also quite practical for office workers and student parties. When users encounter the desired copy on the picture, they can be extracted directly with a small cloth screen, simplifying the operation of typing while looking at the picture in the past. And the small cloth screen can also help us find similar pictures on the Internet, which is very convenient when working and studying to find materials.
In terms of privacy security, OPPO has also added a hidden camera detection function on the basis of ColorOS 12 to further protect the security of users. Users only need to find X5 Pro ColorOS 12.1 system inside, into the OPPO software store to search for "hidden camera detection" APP download and use, the entire operation process of the APP is very simple, we just need to follow the above tips, you can know whether there is a camera in the room, and even the APP can help us find the specific location of the camera, so that we can avoid being secretly photographed outside, which is quite practical for users who often travel on business.
In general, ColorOS 12 has ushered in a new level from many aspects such as visual sense, interactive function details, system fluency and security and privacy, making daily use more convenient and efficiency improved, which is worth updating and upgrading. More importantly, OPPO in the continuous improvement of the upgrade system at the same time, but also attaches great importance to the experience of old models of users, ColorOS 12 adaptation models continue to increase, to meet the needs of more users at the fastest speed, old users can participate in adaptation activities. Of course, if you want to try ColorOS 12.1 early on, you can also consider getting started with oppo Find X5 Pro.
