SHENZHEN, CHINA – Media OutReach Newswire – 15 October 2025 – OPPO has revealed its first look at ColorOS 16, the latest version of its mobile operating system, launching with the upcoming Find X9 Series. The update sets a new standard across smoothness, intelligence and connectivity, delivering world-class responsiveness and game-changing cross-platform features for OPPO users worldwide.
Silky Smoothness Everywhere
Building upon the foundation of ColorOS 15’s Parallel Animation, ColorOS 16 introduces Seamless Animation, allowing every interaction to feel instantaneous and perfectly connected across the entire operating system.
This next-level fluidity is noticeable across various user scenarios, such as quickly opening and closing apps from the Home Screen, App Drawer, or Global Search, as well as switching between apps with gestures or navigating through multiple widgets. Within OPPO’s native apps, animations now start from the point of touch and return smoothly when dismissed. This creates a cohesive visual flow intended to make the entire system feel more intuitive.
Powering this next-generation smoothness are two core technologies: the All-New Luminous Rendering Engine and the All-New Trinity Engine.
The All-New Luminous Rendering Engine takes control of all visual components and renders them in parallel. This eliminates jarring between animations, ensuring the OS stays perfectly smooth—no matter how much is happening on your screen.
To address the needs of heavy-load scenarios like intensive gaming and heavy multitasking, the All-New Trinity Engine is introduced. It combines chip-level enhancements with smart resource allocation, ensuring sustained speed and power efficiency.
Beyond flagships, ColorOS 16 brings superior performance to entry-level devices through “Project Breeze,“ a dedicated optimisation initiative that ensures a consistently smooth and more responsive experience even on hardware with more modest specifications.
Refined Design Inspired by Nature
ColorOS 16 introduces a refreshed design inspired by the interplay of light and shadow in natural scenarios, creating a cleaner, more intuitive interface that feels fresh.
Users can personalise their phones by setting Motion Photos or videos as wallpapers, choosing from a wide range of fonts, or letting AI suggest text styles that match their wallpaper.
Beyond traditional Always-On Display (AOD) capabilities, ColorOS 16 introduces full-screen AOD, enabling users to view their lock screen wallpaper alongside key information. A single tap transitions the AOD smoothly into the full lock screen for ultimate cohesion.
