According to Trustdata’s July release of Report, OPPO achieved the first sales of domestic mobile phone brands with a 23.4% share in the first half of 2019. As more and more OPPO mobile phones are shipped, the ColorOS system also It has reached 300 million users this year.

And today, OPPO held the second press conference for ColorOS this year, officially releasing ColorOS 7.

If ColorOS 6 in March of this year is the beginning of ColorOS’s simplification of design, then ColorOS 7 released today is the crystallization of the evolution of the “Boundless” design concept.

You can see the shadows of many predecessors in ColorOS 7, but it has its own unique The feature is that it is still the ColorOS that adheres to the “borderless” concept, but compared to the predecessors, it also needs to add two more words in front – “light”.

“Light and borderless” is the core of this ColorOS 7 update, but what is lighter and faster? Where is it? I seem to use the following 1500 words to make it clear.

Three dimensions to form a new ColorOS

For the changes in ColorOS 7, I think it can be summarized in three dimensions – visible Touch, hear, and hear.

and these three points actually happen to be the main line of my article, so I will These three dimensions classify the content so that everyone can quickly understand it.

What is visible first?

The icons are visible, the wallpapers are visible, the animations are visible, and the text is visible. These are all changed in this version of the ColorOS system.

Under the default icon, the system desktop settings feature has added custom options, users can I like to customize the icon style, shape, and size, and also use the “Art+ icon” provided by the design room to beautify the icon.

In addition, based on the “O” letter style of the new OPPO, ColorOS 7 adds an icon style. The pebbles are designed, and because the icons are layered, they look more detailed and natural.

After redrawing the icon and providing custom functionality, the ColorOS 7 icon also depends on the color of the OLED screen. The features are optimized for the purpose.

For example, they have adjusted the color of the icons so that each icon does not look like The hardware is too thick.

As for the normal interactive page, ColorOS 7 also achieves the maximum simplicity, and strives to More “white” space, not a variety of irregular lines and tight typography.

< /p>

So in this update, such as the system settings page, preloaded apps have a completely different look Various lines for segmentation have been eliminated, and the typesetting of the font has also become vertical and organized from the previous compact wind.

When it comes to typesetting, I have to say the new OPPO Sans font. In fact, as early as March activities, I have been expecting ColorOS to have a new font to cater to the more sleek design of the phone. The OPPO Sans launched this time has finally fulfilled my wish for this OS.

According to the introduction, OPPO Sans currently supports 226003 characters, including both traditional and simplified. Also, this set of fonts will be free for social use (including commercial use). In other words, even if you are an old OPPO device or other device, you can use OPPO Sans for free if you can install it, without spending a penny.

Looking back, can I install it for my computer.

“All Weather Dark Mode” is one of the highlights of ColorOS 7. Compared with the normal dark mode, this function not only “blackens” the ColorOS menus and preloaded apps, but also globalizes the pages of third-party apps, including our commonly used Weibo, WeChat, Drip hits…

From the current beta features, the dark mode can already support 45 third-party apps, I believe In the later official version, there will be more programs and better display performance (the Beta version still fails to achieve 100% adaptation in individual apps).

Chen Xi, ColorOS Design Director, introduced that when the dark mode is turned on, the power consumption of the mobile phone can be reduced by up to 38%.

In addition, ColorOS 7 is based on AI adjustment, curve adjustment, multi-scene learning in terms of automatic screen brightness adjustment. Brings the “smart dimming” function. The mobile phone will self-learn according to the user’s usage scene and time, and then adjust the screen brightness more precisely according to the data.

It’s worth mentioning that ColorOS 7’s charging, App opening animation and other details have changed. And the system has also joined the Quantum quantum animation engine, the transition effect is more linear and smooth. In addition, the system wallpaper has also been added to the Art+ artist’s work.

Overall, like the previous icons, pages, and fonts, these details are all oriented toward an idea. Evolution – to bring design that is more in line with user rules under the premise of more simplicity.

Where is it touched?

Touched, as the name implies, is a functional change.

First, let’s start with the most basic “screenshot”.

Although multi-finger screenshots are not the first day to appear on mobile phones, they can be combined with a fast interactive solution. Not much. Generally speaking, we want to share screenshots to WeChat friends, at least five points on the screen:

Press the physical key screenshot→Exit the current page→Click Open WeChat→Select Contact→Open Album →Send

In ColorOS 7, the same operation was simplified to three steps:

Three-finger slide screen capture → push up screenshot pop-up sharing → select contact to send

The official name of this quick screenshot and sharing function is “Three Finger Screen Capture”, which first appeared in the 2014 ColorOS system. .

On this basis, ColorOS 7 adds fast sharing and long screenshots, allowing users to share after the screenshot. And take longer pictures and increase usage efficiency with fewer screenshot sharing steps.

In addition, after the user’s three fingers stay on the screen, they can directly activate the “area screenshot” function, after popping up the screenshot box. The page can be intercepted and shared immediately.

“Floating window bubble” is another new feature I like, this function is a bit like traditional meaning The multitasking split screen, but it is like the WeChat applet, can be folded and suspended on the phone page.

But this feature is not limited to an app or page like a small program floating window. In fact, it is a system global function, I can expand the browser when checking the data, if it is not used, I can fold it.

It’s also a feature that comes to improve usage efficiency.

When I first started working with ColorOS 7, I thought that the “flashback button” was dedicated to the user. Defined physical buttons, but I did not expect this to be a very interesting pop-up function.

Simply understand,” The flashback button is actually a floating window that extracts the key information of the app. It can display the key information of the app in the floating window when the user temporarily exits the app. When the user needs it, it is a shortcut to return the application. The key, so it is called the “flashback key” because it is a temporary quick and easy entry.

The ColorOS team demonstrated with the tricks at the event“Flashback Key” function, after exiting the drop, the “Flashback Key” floating window will display key information such as vehicle distance and brand. This will reduce the number of switching between apps, users can continue to chat WeChat, while not missing the distance between themselves and the network car master Chen.

According to the introduction, Baidu map, Jedi survival will also support the “flashback key” display, according to the App Display different key information for its own characteristics.

Smart Assistant Breeno combines third-party app features in this update to give users a more comprehensive and Convenient information reminder, for example, to continue the flight software, she can realize the flight pop-up reminder; based on the traffic software, she can remind the distance between the bus and the current location.

My personal favorite is that when the phone’s power is below 10%, the system will automatically search for nearby shared charging. The location of the treasure, of course, if you can find a VOOC fast charge station is better.

There are some details of the upgrade, I will not expand it one by one, because the number It’s a bit more, in order to take care of the length of the page, I will simplify these details into points:

  • Add end-to-cloud smart compile technology, self-learn user app usage habits, intelligently optimize system hardware utilization (memory utilization increased by 40%), system fluency Degree (up 30%), response speed (15%)
  • Add a “Password” feature that only requires fingerprint verification each time you use a password
  • Add portrait mode 2.0, three-dimensional face landscaping, intelligent color adjustment
  • New “Crystal Night Mode”, below 1 lux ambient light will automatically trigger noise suppression
  • WeChat albums can also use system-level smart sorting features
  • Add a new record to Soloop video editing software

What do you hear?

In addition to design and interaction, ColorOS 7’s ringtones have changed a bit.

SimpleSay, in this version of the update, the system ringtones become linear and natural, not the kind of ringtones that are bothering to be heard like old-fashioned alarm clocks(Except for the class bell), and even less because of the boss’s midnight call, scared to sleep next to the other half .

According to Chen Xi, in order to make the system ringtones more pleasant, ColorOS teamWorked with the well-known Danish sound company episound, designed a human voice experience for the system ringtone, maximizing the ringtone treble, retaining the natural, peaceful part, calling, notification, alarm ringtones Become a wake-up music, not an alert that stimulates the nerves.

For example, the alarm clock will broadcast different styles of natural sound according to the weather of the day, and the classic ringtone of OPPO mobile phone has become more moderate.

Based on the natural peace of mind, ColorOS also released support for Dolby Atmos. Format OPPO RELAX. This feature can provide users with white noise in different natural scenes, providing a “private space” to enhance concentration, meditation, and sleep.

OPPO’s 5G phone will come next month!
