#oppo #coloros14 #Smartandsmooth @OPPOglobal @ColorOS
Thank you for doing this as most KZheadrs only focus on oneui ,iOS and pixel ui
ColorOS is so underated... I've tried various android OS so far it the most smooth n fluid and less buggy.
yupp
For high end phones? Maybe but in midrange there are many problems. In midrange the stock android option is the best.
@@shlokshah5379 I have a high end device running on color os and it just lags
Worst os ever used is color os
@@idk69740 in what tasks
The "go green always on display" is something really interesting.
Been watching reviews of color os and I have to say that those animations are smooth asf
Currently using S23Ultra (OneUI 6) and used iOS 17 but ColorOS 14 seems clean and consistent all throughout its system.
until you install/open some google apps then everything start to fall apart.
You're so wrong about that one
elaborate more?@@atifchy_
im a recent oppo user can you explain?@@atifchy_
Not really. They still have inconsistent square dialogue boxes everywhere. One ui is still better at consistency.
i hate when companies limit software features intentionally for their midrange devices
I am currently using color os 13 and it's damn good,smooth and underrated .I have been using color os for a very long time and believe me it's fast,smooth and best.And color os 14 looks really good and too many new features are going to be added 👌.
ColorOS is one of the finest os I've used
ColorOS has improved a lot in my opinion. The difference between this and the previous versions are very noticeable.
Hey man, can you make a video where you compare different OS's and their Pros and cons to inform people about them? Also could help in understanding if those exclusive features are available in other phones. I use an S22U and want to switch to a different phone such as one from Oppo, Vivo or Oneplus, but kinda scared about the software features, are all the cool OneUI features available there?
Would be perfect if it had better lock screen and always on display customisation😔😔 (don't forget oxygen OS), Hopefully on the Android 15 update they both get that and independent app audio control like miui
It does have independent app volume control but only in games. Then again that's the only place you're gonna need such a feature.
@@itstheara i meant better lockscreen customisation my bad
@@arkhalis3682 in my case, i like to have white noise playing in low volume while scrolling my apps and i hate when its too loud
Coulour Os 14 is good but I wish the added depth screen screen lock with more customization for the lock screen.
im looking forward to seeing this on my oppo reno ten so far im loving oppo os 13 coming from a iphone user it was so refreshing to have customizing options
I'm currently using an iPhone 15 and I also have an Oppo Reno 6 pro. I have no idea what people see in Apple. For me, Oppo and Color OS are much more efficient, reliable, looks better and has many more functions.
Does oppo Reno 6 pro have update 14
@@ant23 nope... 🥲
@@ant23 yes it does, i js got an oppo phone and updated to android 14
I love it 😍 my favorite os❤
Most of these features already exist in the previous version upgrading to this only brings a few useful features while also degrading battery life and introducing various unknown bugs so i like to stick to current color os 13 which is stable with no bugs as such and sufficient battery life i might upgrade after a year or 2.
sahi bola bro
i think bro is in denial
"various unknown bugs" lmao
Recently upgraded to ColorOS 14 the battery did degrade sadly, hope Oppo releases an optimization update soon
ColorOS is amazing!!
I thank you a lot for your job. Please, we also need a video on the best keyboard apps. Which keyboard app do you use yourself ? It seems it's not the Google keyboard.
Hope they make System Cloner available for non-pro reno devices. Was dismayed after knowing it's only available for pro versions despite advertising it as ColorOS 13 feature.
damnit the software looks so good, I guess I'll be highly considering an OPPO phone for my next upgrade
OnePlus have same OS also just diffenrent name (OxygenOS) because OnePlus Merged with Oppo
@@iMystify yeah I checked all their flagship phones has an curved display and that's a deal breaker for me.
@@walid6329 I'm using OP 10 Pro as daily. Curve screen fits my hand way better than flat, but just IMO.
Nice though I mine is not on the list. Which app can use since soloop cut was discontinued?
Most favourite os ❤
Bro, i like your shirt 👍🏼
The fact that Oppo still hasn't implemented Lock Screen Customization is kinda disappointing. OxygenOS and realmeUI uses almost the same ColorOS makes it a bit worse.
is oxygen =. color os??
@@TanveerAhmed-dk3rpyep. But some stuffs like Air Gestures are not present in OOS(maybe they have added them recently but I'm not sure about that). And RealmeUI has some extra experimental stuff in Realme Labs(+ full of in-UI ads).
I like the video bro 👍
The new feature you mentioned at 3:30 is not available on my Oppo ColorOs 14. Any idea why?
And will Oppo find x6 pro get the ColorOS 14? In the list of devices, this model absent
So, is there no more 'background streaming' feature on yt??
I read it was dropping this month (Feb) , but my UK X3 Pro still hasnt got it yet.. Looks nice tho
But they forgot to mention that the cut-out object will not look like a sticker when sent to chat. It will have a black background like a picture in a separate message window
What happened the the wallpaper carousel on oneplus11 after the update?
I have a problem after this update. When i press the on/off button my phone does not react. The screen was blank. Until i press the off and volume button many times.
Im on Dark mode and when i press some specific buttons, it shows some dot or bubble thingies effects
oppo is always amazing. i have oppo A17. and love it so much with oppo
4:38 I really don't have this feature, Is It just on Oppo 11 and that ones?
mind share date update for oppo find n3..is it already available?
Is there any camera features update?
Color os 14 allows app folder in the app tray?
Do you get the Google media player on Lock Screen and notifications shade ?
No 😢
Nope🥲 But you do get the option to disable their garbage Media player on Lockscreen. So what you can do is replace that shit with a KWGT widget by using Lockscreen widget apk.
@@isa_pizza. Well that sucks ! They had it on the really early beta builds of android 14 don’t know why they would leave it out. Thanks for reply mate.
@@eddiemunoz3677 tell apple to add it, only them would OPPO instantly add it to colorOS. (Okay this is a joke referencing to how they straight up ripped off iOS UI on colorOS 14 lmao) I wished they kept the Google media player it looks so good.
The best Android skin in my opinion.
I wish the google pixel had big homescreeen folders and adjustable app sizes on homescreen like nothing and oppo
How to enable KZhead background music?
Recent upgrade to ColorOS 14 Reno 8T 5G has degraded the battery badly, hope Oppo releases an optimization update soon to solve it.. Otherwise it comes with cool stuffs!
How to make 5x5 tiles apps in home screen?
got it on my OnePlus 10 Pro
the smart image matting doesn't work for me, can you help?
Please explain Magic OS and Realme UI.
How is it different from my oxygenos14? Isnt it EXACTLY the same??
It seems to be most refined Nd feature packed. The icons are nice the overall UI is nice and has to be the best android there. Quality of videos bringing the deatils to the color os and other os is just too food.
I don't know why stock android doesn't give privacy features like app lock and hide apps and some features like people cutout and auto pixelate
How to get those widgets on home screens as it cant Shows in widgets section
hold any blank space area in the homescreen and instead of pressing the widget button, press the plus button found at the upper left corner of the screen. I guess, by now, you found it already but anyway i hope this helps
There are still few bugs I suppose with 14 Charging doesn't stop at 80% Auto select refresh rate is not present for 9pro
Benn using oppo f9 for 5 years, I finally upgraded to oppo reno 10 5G, Oppo is really a superb phone.
Can you talk about Honor magicOs? 😊 thanks in advance ✨️
I just hope that they fix the video lag issue
For me the highlight is the always on display. in my oppionion this is one of the coolest features that a phone has and is way too underrated. i have a samsung device and its pretty annoying that the always on display gets left behind like that
I've an oppo a77 5g, just upgraded to os 14, disappointed to see a lot of the new features are not available to my phone, anyone know the minimum requirements needed regarding hardware?
5:13 any app which can do this In AOSP Roms
I have ColorOs 14 and i don't see the baterry current capacity... Why?
Can you also cover Xiaomi hyper os
Aquamorphic , Aquamorphic ,Aquamorphic, Aquamorphic
I got the software update but some features dont work for me because I use oppo a18
I really prefer the minimalist design of ColorOS 12 more, yes more features however i feel like the variety of ui elements has gotten to the point where everything looks cramped
Can you recommend a central control for Xiaomi redmi 12 that haven't it 😊
1:39 i want something like that its alternative of dynamic island
Does it have second space like MIUI?
Make one on Funtouch Os too
Is there a Lite version of ColorOS? Similar to Samsung, not every phone, especially entry-level ones, receives the full version of One UI. So, do all phones running ColorOS get the complete version, regardless of their segment?
The lite version of ColorOS is basically the same ColorOS-(minus) App opening animations,blossom wallpaper,Subject cut-out, app compression,etc. Unlike OneUI which is the heaviest UI out there(due to the amount of features it packs in even in budget range), ColorOS is selective with its feature-set & remove certain features from the lower-end phones both to differentiate between flagships+upper mid-rangers & lower-end and keep the UI lighter.
@@dragonforcegaming7555 Thanks, so basically there's no way to tell that you're getting complete colorOS before buying the mobile just by seeing its specs? Like in Samsung's case, it clearly mentions that it's One UI Core, the lite version of One UI.
@@hanve Basically Reno's pro plus(8pro in case of 8 series) & Find Series have full-fledged ColorOS. While the base Reno has almost everything except 1 or 2 stuff. While Budget segment misses out on almost half of the stuff introduced in the new version. As for OneUI core, Samsung makes it lighter but then again adds a lot more stuff in the next version. Essentially cancelling out and making it heavier again.
@@dragonforcegaming7555 okay got it. Thanks a lot👍🏽
Do this for Xiaomi s hyper OS
So color os is just inspired by everything EMUI. 👍🏻
When is coloros14 releasing globally
What do u thibk about HarmonyOS of Huawei? 😅
Could you the differences between color os and oxygen os?
Just the name, OnePlus has lost its identity.
@@tonexbot so no technical differences?
Oppo Reno 5 4G will get ColorOS 14 update or not? Please reply me
I'm about to get the new HyperOS version to my phone, but when i saw this CokorOS i feel left behind again
HyperOS is basically MiUI if it was further refined. It's great tbh. You will get great lockscreen customisations. You won't get the real HyperOS through update on any phone which isn't Xiaomi 14 series or Redmi K60 series or their upcoming phones. What you are essentially getting is an Android based skin,not their true VELA based HyperOS.
The vitalization features and battery stop charging at 80% is all I ask from my current Motorola phone, but my device doesn't have this level of customer care.
Color os is the best!!!
i live in canada so there's only oneplus for me to get here. How close oxygen os to the color os?
It is same now OOS=ColorOS, except bloatwares are less on oos
@@anchalsehrawatyee
Same apart from availability of Air Gestures(maybe). Also OOS is globally clean while ColorOS has 3rd party bloatwares in some regions like India,Pakistan,Phillipines,etc
Dude you need to stop shaking those hands 😂
do hyperOS next
If they brought back a video player in Locked Folder it would be perfect. That basically made the feature useless.
Color OS is the best!
Oppo just like Xiaomi Inspired by apple but good thing they are adding some new stuff
Bro I am using color is 14 in realme narzo 60 5g but I can't get always on display 😢
Does chineese and global phone different with color os ?
Anybody know where to find apk for the colorOS blossom live wallpaper apk?
reno 6 pro not updated for coloros 14? :((
I thank god, that I experience with my new Galaxy Z Fold 5.
Pls , do videos for honor MagicOS 8.
can you change anything on the lock screen? answer is NO
I have I question that I hope someone answer . Can I install a costume rom on my red magic 8 device without loosing it's main features like the cooling fan and triggers
It depends on whether that custom ROM supports it or not.
Just make your own os which supports all the feature you desire.
How can i download it ? I cant find it ina play store? I have an s23 ultra
It's an UI bro...not an app that you will download from playstore 💀
what phone is the guy using in the video?
oppo reno 11 pro
@studiepie thanks🥰
how to get a Trinity engine in a OnePlus device 😢
Colour os is awesome and the features seems promising as always ❤❤ can't wait to update
Most features are half-baked. They still can't implement 3 years old Material You. No lock screen customisation and many more things. It's just trying to look like ios. Typical Chinese thing nothing else.
@@SouravSatvaya ur not a user aren't you?
@@blinkforever_and_ever I'm a user and that's why I'm saying that, without using it I wouldn't even comment
@@SouravSatvaya before using I was worried about the meterial you feature too...but it does support meterial you....more than half of the icons get themed even the accents changes accordingly....
@@blinkforever_and_everthe material you implementation sucks. 3rd party apps can use material you no problem because they use android 12+ monet. colorOS UI used their own shitty engine which doesn't follow monet (can get inconsistent with other material you apps) and it only applies to buttons and toggles, they did such a half job lol.
I don't understand why color os doesn't have a charging limit
4:34 looks like privacy lwft thw chat
Is official Messages app for OnePlus/Oppo except Google ??
There is but it's limited to Chinese version of ColorOS. You'll need to side-load it from Apkmirror or ask the app from OPPO themselves.
OppoA77s can't update?
Hi guys, anyone with Oppo A98 5G already updated to ColorOS 14? Does the extract content function work? On my phone I don't get that "extract content" button when making a screenshot. I can only drag the screenshot into File Dock or if i open the gallery and try to extract an object from the photo, that works as well. The text extraction on the other hand does not work at all. Anyone having the same issue, or maybe A98 dosent support this?? Thanks 🙏
