ColorOS 7 Update: Find Android 10 Supported Oppo Phones

Many smartphone companies have their own version of the Android OS for their devices. It is especially common among Chinese manufacturers. Oppo’s very own ColorOS is quite common among the Indian masses. Now, every year, the manufacturers keep on tweaking their software interaction, and the newer version of ColorOS has come with a lot of exciting features. This is a toned-down version of ColorOS that many will appreciate. So, let’s take a look at what the ColorOS 7 update has to offer for us.

ColorOS 7 Based on Android 10

After the Android 10 launch, ColorOS 7 was under development. So, every Oppo and Realme device user patiently awaited the new Android features. Some manufacturers have already pushed out Android 10 for their flagship devices. This includes Xiaomi’s MIUI 11, OnePlus’s Oxygen OS 10, Samsung’s OneUI 2.0, Black Shark’s JoyUI, etc. So, the ColorOS 7 is a way for Oppo to join the league as it is their take on Android 10. Currently, there are 300 million ColorOS users worldwide who will very surely appreciate this big change in ColorOS from Oppo.

How to Download ColorOS 7 and Install it on Your Phone?

Currently, you can only get a trial version via OTA update. So, for a smoother and more delightful user experience, go to phone Settings > Software Updates > Setting Icon – Trial Version> Download.

Once the trial (beta) period ends, the ColorOS 7 stable update will be rolled out via OTA to all supported Oppo and Realme phones. And you will get a notification regarding the update. If you don’t receive a notification, check for the update manually by heading over to Settings > Software Update.

The download link for the latest software update will also be available online. Keep checking the official links to download ColorOS 7 updates.

To install, ensure that your phone has at least 60% charge left. Also, you should take a backup of your Android Device. Please do not turn off your phone during the update process. Now, move the ColorOS 7 OTA zip file to the root directory in your folder. Boot your device into Recovery mode > Select language. Now select the package from internal storage > OTA zip file > Click on OK. Wait for the installation process to complete.

What are the Best Features of ColorOS 7?

The ColorOS 7 comes with a bunch of new features. Firstly, we have an intelligent system that will automatically bring the device to car mode when connected to a car via Bluetooth. Additionally, depending on usage patterns, the phone will automatically turn on its sleep mode, activating DND and dark mode on the device. This will ensure a longer battery life for the device when in standby mode through the night.

There is also a half screen mentioned by Oppo, which will make cards for contacts, messaging, calendars, and many others on the bottom of the screen. This is not like the traditional split-screen we are accustomed to. Additionally, we also get a flashback button with ColorOS 7, which will allow users to switch between apps while keeping track of the other app. This will be useful in gaming scenarios when you have an intense gaming session and an important mail or text pops up. You want to respond to it, but leaving the game is not an option. In such scenarios, the flashback button will take you to the messaging or email app while keeping the game running alongside a smaller screen so that you can keep track of when to move back to the game instantly.

Now, moving on to the camera app department, we will see a bunch of new features, namely portrait mode 2.0, night mode, super stabilization, and Soloop video editor. And we will have all these new features with the older features together in a brand new tweaked camera UI.

Now, there have been talks about allowing file transfer between the devices of different brands through a common platform. Xiaomi, Oppo, and Vivo have been talking about this, and now we finally have Oppo releasing this feature with the ColorOS 7. As soon as other brands join in, we will be able to transfer files between devices of different brands with ease.

Oppo’s Next-Generation Custom Skin Design

This is not a completely revamped OS. If one has used the COlorOS 6 before, the difference won’t be groundbreaking. What Oppo did here is that they lightened out the colors, tweaked a few interface options, and increased white spaces everywhere. This means that with dark mode enabled, these white spaces will create a rich black color, which will surely be pleasing. Again, ColorOS is known to be a bit contrasty, to which the Oppo finally responds with a toned-down OS. The colors do not look saturated on ColorOS 7 at all. This means that users will have minimal eye fatigue now, which was an issue with the older ColorOS 6. ColorOS is colorful, to say the least, and in a room environment or even in dark environments, this extra bit of color causes damage to the eyes. So, this new change in the OS was a necessary change many were expecting beforehand.

Custom Skin Icon Design

We also see new icon packs(some minimal ones) and new fonts. There is also a new font from Oppo, called the Oppo Sans font, designed by Zhu Zhiwei of Hanyi Fonts(for the Chinese characters) and by the U.S. design company Pentagram (for the Western characters). This is not an exclusive font, though, as Oppo has released this new font for everyone’s use completely free.

There is also an extensive dark mode here on the ColorOS 7, which will work even when a user is using a third-party app.

Performance

In terms of performance improvement over the older ColorOS 6, the ColorOS 7 has improved its app startup speed by 25%. Additionally, Oppo is also claiming a 30% better system fluency, a 40% better RAM utilization, a 19% improvement in handling games frame rates, and a 15% improvement in touch response. Oppo does this in their very own labs, so the authenticity of this claim can not be verified. Oppo might be exaggerating here with the numbers, but there is a definite jump in terms of performance from ColorOS in this new version.

ColorOS 7 Global Release Date

The next-generation custom skin ColorOS 7 was announced officially for the global market on November 26, 2019, at an event in Delhi, India.

Currently, only the flagship Reno series from Oppo has received the latest update for beta testing of the ColorOS 7. Based on the feedback of the Reno customers, the company R&D team will work together with them to make the final tweaks to the OS. After that, we will see the other Oppo and Realme devices receiving the update.

The stable version of the ColorOS 7 has started rolling out from Q1 2020. Per the details revealed, we will see a complete release by the end of Q2 of 2020.

Oppo Reno3 is the first device to come with stable ColorOS 7 out of the box, which was launched in December 2019.
