Coloros 13

Immediately after the presentation of ColorOS 13, which took place at the same time as the release of the stable version of Android 13, OPPO wasted no time. Not only has he published a upgrade plan with all compatible smartphones and tablets, but has also started releasing updates in a few days, starting with Find X5 Pro. However, although it is one of the fastest brands ever, the updates will not be released simultaneously for all devices: the roadmap will be respected but there are time needed for development. ColorOS 13 will be deployed to all supported devices between the 2022 and the 2023. On this page we will constantly keep track of all updates to ColorOS 13 as they arrive and we will also publish all the official roadmaps. In this way you can have all the information you need to know as soon as possible when your smartphone will update to the thirteenth version of the operating system.

Contents • • • ColorOS 13 adds a new, larger app folder option so you can view and activate apps directly without having to open the folder first. Activating the expanded mode is simple and takes just a long press on the smaller, standard folder. The Quick Settings view has been updated to work in landscape, where it shows the usual options on the left of the screen and media controls on the right. If you own an Oppo Pad Air tablet, ColorOS 13 introduces a Andy Boxall/Digital Trends There are a few new Always-on screen options, with the Insight screen from OnePlus’ OxygenOS making an appearance, along with a Bitmoji screen and one with Spotify integration too. This has Related • • • This applies to features like the one-handed mode and the split-screen multitasking mode, both of which are easy to activate and work really well. Less helpful is the Smart Sidebar, where a small window containing various apps can be swiped in from the edge of the screen. It’s handy when you want to use an app as a floating window, but it’s pointless otherwise. The same goes for Shelf, a feature also seen in OxygenOS. It’s a slide-down section like the Notification Shade and is nothing more than an annoyance. If you’re right-handed, it’s too easily activated instead of the notification panel. Thankfully, it can be turned off. Transitions are smooth, and for the most part, there are fewer interruptions too. Before now, it was always a fraught first few days with ColorOS as it constantly bothered...

OxygenOS 13 and ColorOS 13 share more than a few similarities – they are effectively the same OS masquerading as different “versions.” Toss in Realme UI 4.0 and it’s an inconvenient truth that BBK appears unwilling to own up to. Given that Pete Lau claimed OxygenOS and ColorOS’s unified platform was • Sharing components and hardware production pipelines is one thing, but for many, the crux of why they still continued to persevere with OnePlus was OxygenOS. Just what is in store? Here’s everything you need to know – the good and the bad. Thanks to Merging all in Android 13 We saw the first steps of the merger between ColorOS and OxygenOS with the Android 12 update. It’s even more pronounced this time around, to the point that it’s actively hard to tell the two Android skins apart. The similarities are so pronounced that it’s almost easier to point out the minor changes than what is the same. Notification center There are big changes right away in the pull-down Notification center in OxygenOS and ColorOS 13. It is eerily reminiscent of the Android 11 Developer Preview 1 whereby the media controls were tested inside the Quick Settings panel alongside common toggles. You can certainly see some iOS influences, but the addition of the Android 12 Wi-Fi and Bluetooth pill-style toggles are an important alteration. It’s hard to argue that this does limit utility and does so at the expense of some identity. With many Chinese OEMs doing similar things, it’s a tad disappointing to see...

Oppo is launching its ColorOS 13 update today, and has detailed the features that are on the way for its devices as they’re upgraded to its flavor of Android 13. Oppo — which like Vivo, OnePlus, and other Chinese brands is controlled by the tech giant BBK Electronics — says the update will be arriving first on the Find X5 and Find X5 Pro this month, ahead of its release on around 33 additional models in the Find, Reno, A, F, and K ranges before the end of the year. One of the smaller features worth calling out is a neat pixelation feature that’ll be available for screenshots in WhatsApp and Messenger chats. A new “Pixelate” option appears in the editing window, which can be tapped to automatically blur out the contact’s name and profile picture (as shown in the animation above). You can also use the tool to manually blur out the contents of messages. It could be a helpful little feature if you want to quickly share a message exchange without revealing every detail. But there are also some new features for ColorOS 13 that have yet to be announced for OxygenOS. For example, Oppo has announced a new “Multi-Screen Connect” screen-mirroring feature which will allow up to three windows from a phone to be displayed on a connected Windows PC. That includes two background apps alongside one direct mirror of a phone’s display. The connectivity also simplifies the transfer of files between a smartphone and Windows, according to Oppo’s announcement. Another small-yet-potentially-handy...
