ColorOS 11 promises to bring the best of both worlds to its users - stock Android 11 experience along with rich UI customizations that Oppo users have always wanted.
Let's take a look at some of the biggest new features that are coming with the ColorOS 11 update:
ColorOS 11 will enable users to unleash their creativity and show off their imagination by personalizing their smartphone experience. The fresh update also allows users to create an Always-On Display that's quite useful to glance at essential information when you're on the move. Users can also create their own themes, wallpapers, fonts, icons, and ringtones. You can probably enjoy a new-phone feeling every single day.
For those who appreciate dark mode, Android 11's stock Dark Mode will be available in ColorOS 11 with even more customizable options, including three colour schemes and different levels of contrast. A great dark mode experience is essential so that you don't end up straining your eyes while staring at the screen at night. Users can also create their own tracks using Oppo Relax 2.0 which features an extensive collection of sounds from different cities across the world.
Besides powerful customization capabilities, ColorOS 11 will also bring a more efficient user experience like never before. The Android 11-based update features a new Three-Finger Translate feature that's powered by Google Lens. The feature has been developed by Oppo and Google together, and allows users to easily translate text using a simple three-finger gesture. Little innovations like these make a smartphone more usable, all around.

ColorOS 11 will bring a bunch of useful made-for-India features that will further improve users' smartphone experience. A new feature called Low Battery Message will send a text message with a user's current location to select contacts when the phone's battery drop to around 15 percent. This enables users to quickly share their location with their loved ones before their phone runs out of battery. The feature has been specially crafted for Indian users.
Another highly useful India-specific feature in ColorOS is called Battery Guard. The feature can learn about a user's charging habits, and stop charging once the battery level rises up to 80 percent at night, and then slowly charges rest of the battery to up to 100 percent by the time a user wakes up. You can now stop worrying about keeping your phone on charging overnight.
To enable a lag-free smartphone experience, ColorOS 11 will bring UI First 2.0 which combines the company's lag-reducing engine with Quantum Animation, enabling a smooth user experience. Oppo says it can help boost RAM utilization by up to 45 percent. This means it's faster to fire up apps, browse through the homes screen, and enjoy a smooth overall smartphone experience.
