Hello ColorOS Family,
Welcome back to another fresh article, and I hope you guys are doing absolutely fine,
By the title you guys may have known that I’m going to talk about ColorOS 11 and it’s latest amazing features and when you can expect ColorOS11 update in your OPPO devices.
ColorOS launched it’s latest version of it's OS, ColorOS 11 based on Android 11 and that’s very amazing. ColorOS 11 is packed with amazing and crazy features, no doubt why ColorOS is best in class in comparison with Competition brands.
Android announced Android 11 on September 8th 2020 and on the same day ColorOS pushed the beta version of ColorOS 11 to beta testers of Find X2 and Reno 3 Pro series. That’s something very amazing.
A big applaud to ColorOS team for this achievement.
And Just within a week after the announcement of Android 11, ColorOS also revealed it’s Latest Version ColorOS 11 with “Make Life Flow” Concept.
Moving further the first question arises in our mind is Why ColorOS 11? ColorOS 8 also sounds good then why a massive jump leaving 8,9,10 behind and directly ColorOS 11.
Well this question was asked by many of us, so Jon Retingger asked the same to ColorOS team during the live launch event of ColorOS 11 and that's what they Replied to our questions.
“Actually We want Users to know that our ColorOS 11 is based in Android 11, We have received a lot of queries from ColorOS users what Android version is my os running does my device has all the latest Android features by naming our latest system coloros 11 it will help OPPO user’s know that if their phones are upgraded to ColorOS 11 it is running on Android 11.Our goal is to keep ColorOS consistent with Android 11 while adding all customisation catering to OPPO user’s need around the world.
Hope you all got the reason behind ColorOS 11 instead of ColorOS 8 or 9,10.
Now without wasting Anytime let’s take a look at the All New ColorOS 11 features based on Android 11 and when you can expect the Update of ColorOS 11 on your OPPO device.
