ColorOS 16: Silky Smooth down to the Last Pixel

In ColorOS, we have always been committed to creating a "Smart and Smooth" user experience. With ColorOS 16, we rebuilt system responsiveness from the ground up, delivering a consistently fluid experience. Better still, this refined smoothness is not exclusive to flagship devices. We engineered ColorOS 16 to bring seamless performance to entry-level devices as well, ensuring a smooth experience for more users than ever before.

All-New Dual Engines, Unleashing All-Round Smoothness

Based on the animation foundation of ColorOS 15, ColorOS 16 advances with the Seamless Animation, bringing noticeably smoother motion across the entire system. Whether you're opening apps from the home screen or App Drawer, switching between apps with a gesture, or jumping between widgets, every action flows naturally without stutter.

We also redesigned animations to feel more intuitive. In OPPO apps like Gallery, Weather, and Notes, interactions follow the rhythm of your touch. Animations begin where you tap and return gracefully, creating a responsive feel that is both instant and natural.

With Flux Home Screen, a long press lets you freely resize icons and folders while the rest of the layout adjusts smoothly around them. In Aqua Dynamics, the animations have been redesigned to feel alive and respond fluidly to your touch. As you scroll, the interface moves naturally with your finger.

This next-level smoothness is made possible by the All-New Luminous Rendering Engine. By revamping the Android rendering framework, the All-New Luminous Rendering Engine breaks down barriers between system modules, enabling independent rendering for smooth visuals and instant responses. Compared with the previous generation, ColorOS 16 delivers a 40% improvement in tap responsiveness and a 52% improvement in scrolling stability.

But real fluency isn't just about visuals, it's also about how the system handles pressure. ColorOS 16 introduces the All-New Trinity Engine, which redefines how resources are managed at the chip level for lasting performance and efficiency.

A key innovation is Chip-Level Dynamic Frame Sync. It anticipates animation needs and prepares resources in advance during heavy multitasking, improving stability by up to 37% while cutting power use by 13% in demanding scenarios. Another leap is Sensor Offload, which shifts demanding imaging tasks from the sensor to the SoC. This reduces power consumption by up to 16% during 4K 60fps HDR recording.

From everyday taps to intensive tasks, ColorOS 16 stays smoothly responsive, everywhere, always.

Silky Smooth for Everyone

At OPPO, we believe exceptional smoothness is something everyone should be able to enjoy. That's why we've poured extensive resources into ColorOS 16, launching initiatives like "Project Breeze" to deliver flagship-level fluency even on entry-level devices.

Behind this inclusivity is the same Luminous Rendering Engine, which has been specially optimized for a wider range of hardware. Through architectural refinements and intelligent scheduling, it adapts to varying performance profiles, ensuring smooth interactions and consistent visual fluidity across all device tiers.

With ColorOS 16, smoothness isn't a privilege—it's a promise.
