ColorOS15: AI-Powered, Experience Redefined

ColorOS15 is officially released, bringing brand-new system-level AI features, a smoother experience, and a more refined design. This upgrade boasts numerous highlights, such as the ability to ask questions with a single tap on a photo, generating meeting minutes directly from a call, and reversible editing in the photo gallery, all of which are highly anticipated. So, what enhancements are worth noting in the newly polished ColorOS15? Let's delve into the experience together.

AI Features: Your Always-Available Encyclopedia

The release of ColorOS15 also signifies an upgrade in OPPO's AI, offering a more natural and intuitive interaction, providing users with a seamless experience that understands their intentions. This time around, Xiaobu Assistant is more than just a voice assistant; it's an AI interaction platform capable of executing more complex operations, making the overall experience more convenient and intelligent.

Firstly, the activation method is more convenient, achieved with a simple touch. Users can activate it by pressing the power button or by long-pressing the navigation bar. Activating through the power button is accompanied by sound and light effects, with a rainbow-like ripple effect appearing around the screen, adding a sense of ceremony to each Xiaobu Assistant activation.

ColorOS15 introduces the incredibly practical "One-tap Ask Screen" feature, which can become your phone's encyclopedia. This feature goes beyond voice inquiries, combining voice and screen content, both inside and outside the screen. Whether you encounter an unfamiliar question in your surroundings or while browsing content on your phone, you can ask Xiaobu Assistant. Based on the recognized information, it will provide detailed descriptions, relevant information, suggestions, and more.

For instance, when traveling and encountering a landmark building, plant, or something unfamiliar, you can point your camera at the scene, activate Xiaobu Assistant, and ask "What is this?" to receive an answer. While browsing your Moments or Weibo feed, if you see a beautiful plant your friend has photographed but don't know the specific variety, you can ask Xiaobu Assistant "What is this?" and the encyclopedia entry will instantly appear on the screen. The entire process is fast and accurate.

Based on the answer, you can further ask follow-up questions, such as the characteristics of cherry blossoms, where you can find the most beautiful cherry blossoms, and more. Even the AI feature that previously required manual removal of people in photos can now be controlled by voice with Xiaobu Assistant. Open the photo, activate Xiaobu Assistant, and simply command it to "One-tap remove people" for significantly increased efficiency.

Additionally, you can perform selection-based Q&A. When browsing Xiaohongshu, you encounter a public figure you can't recognize, or your friend posts a pet you don't know in their Moments feed, you can use selection-based Q&A. The system will accurately search and interact based on the selected area.

The "One-tap Ask Screen" covers a wide range of daily life scenarios, from explaining unfamiliar exercises to summarizing WeChat articles, showcasing exceptional perceptiveness and significantly enhancing efficiency. Coupled with the support for continuous questioning, it's like having an encyclopedic friend by your side, not only answering questions but also resolving many awkward situations.

Beyond daily life scenarios, "One-tap Ask Screen" can significantly improve the efficiency of office workers. The three features AI Voice Summary, AI Note Assistant, and AI Document Assistant make the commonly used recording, note-taking, and document applications more intelligent.

When participating in online meetings or calls, ColorOS15 can automatically recognize and activate voice recording, facilitating quick capture of key points. Popular apps like Feishu, Tencent Meeting, and WeChat are all supported. While recording voice, you can choose to enable real-time subtitles, supporting four languages: Chinese, English, Japanese, and Korean, further aiding meeting summaries. You can also take full-screen screenshots during online meetings, and the saved images will be aligned with the audio tracks of the voice recording.

After the meeting, not only will the audio be saved, but it will be transcribed into text, and an AI summary will be automatically generated within seconds. The AI summary will be automatically saved in the notes app, along with the key points in a text summary. The summary content saved in the notes app can be directly used with the AI Notes Assistant feature, enabling intelligent functions like content formatting, sentence correction, polishing, and continuation.

The seamless integration of voice summary and notes app ensures an organized and smooth process, enabling a one-stop solution for efficient meeting participation, from attending meetings to recording and reviewing, all in an orderly manner.

The AI document feature is also practical for those who frequently receive files. It supports global search across various apps, and OPPO Documents can open files in various formats. You can also expand the content, polish, and continue writing in documents. More conveniently, free format conversion is available within OPPO Documents.

A More Aesthetic and Natural New Design

The design of ColorOS15 is more personalized and diverse, not only visually appealing and textured but also offering a more natural user experience. Icons appear brighter and more transparent, with desktop applications and system icons aligning for greater harmony. System icons are closer to real objects, such as the airplane in flight mode and the flashlight, which are more aligned with our understanding compared to past interpretations.

ColorOS15 also features upgrades in visual effects, with more natural animations for fingerprint unlocking, charging, and pulling down the notification bar/control center. For example, the water-like particles that dissipate after pulling down the notification bar/control center appear more natural and smooth.

More Detailed User-Friendly Experience

ColorOS15 continues to provide a user experience with meticulous details, introducing the first "Reversible Editing in Photo Gallery" in domestic Android, allowing users to easily restore wrongly edited photos in the gallery. Undoing operations is effortless, eliminating worries about accidentally editing photos. In addition to restoring size and color adjustments, you can also restore brush strokes, providing a "undo button" for photo editing.

ColorOS15 also supports file transfer between iOS devices, as simple as tapping two iPhones together. After downloading a specific app on your iPhone, your ColorOS15-equipped phone can achieve high-speed file transfer with the iOS device.

Furthermore, Live Photos have been upgraded, with the addition of anti-shake and HDR features. You can also convert Live Photos into GIFs for easy sharing.

In terms of user-friendliness, ColorOS continuously refines and upgrades features, bringing a more advanced and user-satisfying experience with every iteration.

Smooth Dual Engine

ColorOS15 introduces the "Smooth Dual Engine" solution, leveraging the "Aurora Engine" and "Tidal Engine" to comprehensively reconstruct the Android architecture from the bottom layer to the system and application layers, resulting in a more stable experience with smoother control and perception.

During usage, the responsiveness and stability are quite satisfactory. ColorOS15 covers the most comprehensive interrupt animations. Not only can icons on the desktop be interrupted, but cards, folders, and widgets can also start interrupting seamlessly, providing a smooth transition. When using third-party applications, page scrolling is more responsive and natural.

Summary

This time, ColorOS15 has been upgraded again in terms of intelligence, usability, and smoothness. "One-tap Ask Screen" brings a new system-level interaction, with Super Xiaobu Assistant and AI office features making AI your all-encompassing encyclopedia. The smooth dual-engine solution delivers a more stable and smooth experience, while more refined features enhance convenience in daily life.

The continued refinement of ColorOS15 brings comprehensive upgrades, advancing in fluency, ease of use, and smoothness.
