OPPO Teams Up with Spotify for Smart and Customised Music Experiences

1 September 2022, SINGAPORE — Global leading technology company OPPO has announced a new partnership with popular audio streaming platform Spotify, to create an all-new, simple and customisable music experience on OPPO smartphones through its latest ColorOS 13 Android-based Operating System.

With the Spotify app fully integrated with many new smart features in ColorOS 13, listeners can now enjoy music, podcasts and audiobooks with easier access and convenient control over the Spotify app on the home screen of their OPPO device. This will be for listeners in markets where they can register for and use the Spotify service.

The new features include:

Smart Always-On-Display (AOD)：The AOD gives Spotify listeners a whole new way to keep their music, podcasts, and audiobooks at their fingertips. Spotify users can now know what is currently playing by simply glancing at the AOD and double-clicking on the music control panel, without the need to wake the device up. The AOD integration also allows users to access and control the playback of their favourite audio content from Spotify and access Spotify content recommendations all without unlocking the device.
