Coloros, what is it?

Coloros is a owner interface based on the Android operating system, and created by the Chinese company Oppo, the most important brand of the BBK Electronics group, which also holds OnePlus and Vivo and which ranks fourth with smartphones sellers.Its Coloros interface came out shortly after its first devices;The first Find was released in 2011 and Coloros in 2013. It has since evolved according to the new Android version.It is therefore Coloros 12 who completes Android 12 at the end of 2021.

If Coloros is used daily by some 440 million people distributed in 68 countries, according to Oppo figures, all will unfortunately not be entitled to its version 12. First concerned, the Find X3 Pro benefits from the upgrade sinceThe end of 2021. Other models will follow during the first half of 2022. Among them, the Find X2, Reno 6, Reno 4, Reno 10x Zoom series or even A94s, A74 5gou A73.Before the end of 2022, Oppo plans to wear Coloros 12 on the A74 4G, A54S, A53, A53S and A16.

On the main lines

The Coloros interface is oriented towards personalization, but is intended to be closer and closer to Android Stock, that is to say the sleek version of the operating system.It therefore intends to offer a plethora of options to its users, but without leaving them.

Note that OPPO smartphones are not the only ones to use Coloros.If Realme, who used it at its beginnings, now prefers its own interface, this is not the case with OnePlus.Oppo's little sister brand, which approached it more officially in 2021, made until March of the same year appeal to oxygenos internationally, and hydrogenos in China.Since the OnePlus 9 series, it is over the chemical element, which is replaced by Coloros in the Middle Empire.

As for the European version of Coloros, officially inaugurated in Europe with the Find X in 2018, it quickly gained maturity: the manufacturer has worked to adapt its software to the expectations of its new markets and to rectify its errors in particularof translation.
