Oppo is currently prepping up for the launch of the Android 11 ColorOS 11 update for its eligible devices. Ever since the launch of Android 11 OS by Google, OEMs have started customizing the OS according to their own custom UI. Oppo also has tweaked its custom UI a bit this year, and breaking the numeric tradition, Oppo will launch the ColorOS 11 instead of ColorOS 9 which will be based on Android 11. Oppo A52, introduced in April comes with Android 10 ColorOS 7.1 out of the box and is in line to receive the Android 11 ColorOS 11 update.

Talking about the changes, here is the official features that ColorOS 11 will bring to your phone:

• Advanced Personalisations
  Now you can personalize the user interface the way you like. ColorOS 11 brings a brand new UI for making your personalization.
• Enhanced Dark Mode
  ColorOS 11 brings new enhanced features in Dark Mode. Dark Mode can be scheduled based on sunrise and sunset times. You can now set the dark mode in 3 different styles Enhanced, Medium and Gentle. The difference between the 3 is the black color variation. New dark mode settings also provide the option to adjust wallpapers and icons to the dark mode which is a great addition. I love to use this feature. Also reduces contrast in low light conditions.
• Third-party Icon Pack Support
  The feature which we’ve been waiting for a long time is finally here with ColorOS 11. Yes. You can now download third party icon packs from Google Play Store and instantly change your icons natively. I’m pretty much excited to try out this feature in my OPPO Reno 10x Zoom.
• Always On Display Styles
  Currently, we don’t have much Always On Display customization options in ColorOS 7. It’s all going to change with ColorOS 11. Yes. You can now set Text and Image in Always On Display with awesome cool styles. Analog and Digital options are also available.
• App Layout
  All-new design for changing app layout in your home screen with custom row and column settings.
• Notification Drawer Redesign
  Notification Drawer looks cleaner now with good separation between notification channels and also blur transparent effect at the back is a nice addition.
• Notification Drawer Icon Shapes
  If you’re bored with the default rounded square icon in the notification drawer, here’s a way to change that too. You can now customize the shape of icons with ColorOS 11.
• Edge Lighting
  All AMOLED display users can rejoice now. Edge Lighting feature can be used for incoming calls and notifications received when the screen is off. You can apply light effects to VIP Contacts, Favourite Contacts, All Contacts, or All Incoming Calls with 3 different color options Neon Purple, Ocean Blue, and Amber Orange.
• Ringtone Maker
  Ringtone Maker was in OPPO LAB with ColorOS 7.2 for quite some time. Now it’s available by default in the Personalisation setting. You can select any music and customize it to play in 4 different moods like simple, vibrant, thrilling, and relaxing with a slow or fast pace.
• New Wallpapers and Setting
  ColorOS 11 packs a great addition of wallpapers and in addition to static and live wallpapers, ColorOS 11 provides an option to select Art+ Wallpapers.
• Fingerprint Quick Launch
  If you’re a person who uses a few apps a lot and hates to open the app after multiple touches, here’s a Quick Launch feature. When the screen is locked or off, tap the fingerprint icon to call up the quick launch panel and then slide your finger to an app to launch it.
• Smart Sidebar Improvements
  ColorOS 11 brings some optimizations in the editing page of Smart Sidebar. Two tabs are displayed and the order of the items can be customized.
• AI App Preloading
  ColorOS 11 system predicts which apps you’ll use next and preloads them for faster launch speeds. It’s a great feature for shoppers and travelers to buy products in flash sales and book tickets respectively.
• Weather Animations
  ColorOS 11 brings smooth and refreshing animations overall. Not leaving the weather app behind.
• Improved Permission Manager
  With ColorOS 11 you can now choose “Allow only once” for sensitive permissions to better protect your privacy. If the app is unused for a few months, the permission settings will reset.
• All new Game Assistant
  ColorOS 11 added immersive mode which reduces disturbances while gaming so you can stay focused. You can also change the Game Assistant call-up method.
• Revamped Photos app
  Photos can now be saved in HEIF format to reduce file size and save space. ColorOS 11 optimizes the photo editing feature with upgraded algorithms and provides more markup effects and filters.
• Camera Improvements
  – No update will be complete without new camera features. ColorOS 11 is not an exception. New shortcuts to instantly share and edit photos or videos directly from the camera app. Lens stain detection feature. Level and grid feature to help you shoot better videos. AI Color Portrait mode uses the Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology to intelligently recognize the outline of the subject and retain the subject’s vibrant colour against a black-and-white background.
  – Inertial Zoom feature is my top pick in the camera improvements. As a Reno 10x Zoom user, I use the zoom function in video recording a lot for long-distance objects, even the moon. Inertial Zoom makes zooming smoother. You can now select a speed, then touch and hold on the screen to zoom in/out smoothly.
• Super Power Saving Mode
  The new Super power saving mode can meet your urgent needs when the battery level is extremely low. With just 5% battery left, you can still chat on WhatsApp for up to 1.5 hours.
• System and Accessibility Improvements
  ColorOS 11 adds a two-finger swipe up gesture to quickly call up accessibility functions. Also, adds a Sound Amplifier that can amplify faint sounds and soften loud sounds when wearing earphones.
• Multi-User Mode
  With Multi-User mode, you can add different users to your phone so that they can use their own set of apps & data. In this way, your apps and data cannot be accessed by those users.
• Multitasking UI Improvements
  Multitasking with ColorOS 11 is even easier. Instead of just 3 apps screens, we can switch easily to and fro with 7 app icons. A great addition for multitaskers.
• Improved Battery Settings
  To reduce battery aging, now your phone learns from your daily charging routine so it can control the charging speed at night and avoids overcharging. Also, we have new feature called Super Night Standby Mode which consumes just 2% of battery during 8 hours of sleeping time.
• Settings page revamp
  Icons are revamped and new changes in the names of settings to navigate easier.
• Fingerprint Animations
  Select fingerprint animations from all new UI.
• Custom Font Settings
  With all new OPPO Sans font you can customize the font weight and size. It also adapts to different UI.
• Oppo Relax 2.0
• Three Finger Translate with Google Lens
• UI First 2.0 with Quantum Animation Engine
• Nearby Share
• Private System
  Private System will improve privacy even further. With Work-Life balance settings, it’s another feather in the cap feature which I love in #OPPOColorOS11
