Hello ColorOS FAN's,
By this day, ColorOS turned 7!
Yes, what you are seeing is true. It was 7 years since launched its very first version. In a time period of 7 years, ColorOS has upgraded with many versions.
From 1.0 -> 2.0 -> 2.1 -> 3.0 -> 3.1 -> 3.2 -> 5.0 -> 5.1 -> 5.2 -> 5.2.1 -> 6.0 -> 6.0.1 -> 6.1 -> 6.1.2 -> 6.7 -> 7.0 -> 7.1 -> 7.2 -> 11(Beta) which is currently running based on android 11, In every upgrade, ColorOS brought some game changing features.
So, today on the day of 7th anniversary, lets applaud ColorOS by remembering some iconic features introduced. Also, let us discuss about some important phases in the journey of ColorOS.
Iconic Features Introduced
ColorOS with its every successive version, will provide some iconic features. Those features will be like never seen before. If we pull the list, there will be number of features. But, today we will discuss only those features which are very useful and exist till now.
3-Finger Screen Shot Gesture
This feature was introduced in ColorOS 2.0 where we have to swipe down on the screen with 3 fingers. After its arrival, taking screenshots has become very easy. Previously, we used to press and hold power+volume down buttons for taking screenshot, which is sometimes difficult to handle. But the inclusion of 3-Finger gesture, it is handy and easy for taking screenshots. And now, they further brought a add-on for it. With ColorOS 11, you can easily translate content on your page by this gesture.
Specific Designs In Priority
With ColorOS 3.0, they started giving priority in designing app icons, widgets and other toggles. By this, ColorOS has completely changed its design compared to ColorOS 2.0. Apart from design, they added power saving optimizations, privacy features, auto cleaner functions,night shield for blue light fitering and many more with ColorOS 3.0.
Privacy Is Concerned
A new and gaming changing feature in operating systems has evolved with ColorOS 5.0. Hiddens Apps is first introduced in OPPO ColorOS 5 and is one of the best feature in terms of privacy. We can hide apps from home screen with out need of any 3rd party apps. And we can access those apps from Dailer, which is an extraordinary thought. Apart from apps, we can hide our files too in a file safe. This privacy concerns still exist now and their roots exist from ColorOS 5.I have written a brief thread on it earlier, you can check it here...
Smart Assistant & Game Space
There are several uses with this smart assistant. We can check steps tracking, weather, open quick functions, add favorite contacts, check memories generated by Photos and lot more with this smart assistant. We can also check the status of our orders here. This massive feature is also added with ColorOS 5. Know more about Smart Assistant here...
When comes to gaming, the first game space is introduced by ColorOS only with its ColorOS 5 version. This game space optimises the background apps, improves network and lot more. Game Space further evolved in to a much better version now, but its roots exist from ColorOS 5. More about Game Space is here...
App Drawer
App drawer is most wanted feature by the time when ColorOS become popular. ColorOS 6.0 has brought this App drawer for the 1st time to their users. Along with the app drawer, more features like improved smart assistant, game space, network accelerations, are also added with ColorOS 6. Here is a thread related to ColorOS 6 features. Click Here...
Artistic Wallpapers
ColorOS always gives priority to its design part along with features. As a result, they introduced artistic wallpapers for a better vision and attractive look. With several artists, they designed many wallpapers and also those wallpapers are drawn from the nature. These artistic wallpapers are introduced in ColorOS 7 along with many more new and optimized features.
Finally ColorOS 11 Now
With the latest version of ColorOS, we can see number of improvements in design, optimizations, features, gestures and many more. From a 3-Finger screen shot to 3-Finger gesture translate feature, there are such add-ons in every aspect. Improved version of system apps helps us in reducing the usage of some 3rd party apps. Many such details are explained here...
