ColorOS 15 and OxygenOS 15: Features Leaked Ahead of Upcoming Launch

The ColorOS 15 and OxygenOS 15 are expected to become official in the Chinese market this month. However, the two operating systems will have a number of similar aspects and common source code. Future versions will likely bring about improved animations, more customization options, a new Control Center redesign, and much more. Some early testers in China have shared the first looks at OxygenOS 15 and ColorOS 15 prior to its official release today.

A report from SmartPrix claims that some early beta testers have revealed information about the new features of OxygenOS 15 and ColorOS 15. Main features include Dynamic Island, Smooth Animations, Advanced Blur, a Redesigned Control Center, and a transition from Always-On Display (AOD) to Lock Screen. ColorOS 15 is scheduled to be revealed on October 17th at the OPPO Developer Conference (ODC) in China. It is expected that all features of ColorOS 15 will also be integrated into OxygenOS 15.

Key Features of ColorOS 15/OxygenOS 15:

Dynamic Island Feature (Fluid Cloud): This functionality, called Fluid Cloud allows for stacking up to four apps as opposed to Apple’s two. It is located inside the punch-hole of the phone screen which can display information in real-time such as timers, order statuses, and music playback. The behavior appears to be customizable for users; screenshots show it can expand in the card, making room for quick access to the app originally purchased.

Advanced Blur: As the name suggests, it is meant to improve the blur in the notification shade and control center.

Animations: Both ColorOS 15 and OxygenOS 15 will add better animations as well so that users will be able to run multiple apps simultaneously without lag. These new animations look to help facilitate that process for you, therefore creating a smoother overall experience.

Redesigned Control Center: A significant redesign of the control center is on the way, drawing inspiration from iOS and HyperOS. It will offer two modes: a Classic mode resembling ColorOS 14 and a Split Mode, which separates notifications from quick toggles. The layout will include two toggle switches at the top, a media player section, a brightness slider (with an auto-brightness option), a volume slider, and horizontally scrollable toggles.

AOD to Lock Screen Transition: ColorOS 15 and OxygenOS 15 will feature a smoother transition from the Always-On Display (AOD) to the Lock Screen and then to the Home Screen. Users will enjoy glass effects, customizable clock font styles, and adjustable clock colors on the lock screen.
