ColorOS 14 has been officially launched globally as the new custom skin by Oppo. The latest ColorOS version based on Android 14 comes with an Aquamorphic design. The ColorOS 14 update brings a new Trinity Engine to improve RAM and storage management. The new UI layer also includes several AI-powered features and new privacy functionalities. Oppo has revealed the names of the devices that will receive global beta versions of ColorOS 14 in the coming days. Models including the Oppo Find X5 series, Oppo Reno 8 Pro 5G, and Oppo A77 had already started receiving public beta for the new version back in October.

Oppo announced Thursday the official rollout of the ColorOS 14 global version based on Android 14. The new UI layer has a water-inspired Aquamorphic design and offers AI-powered smart features and a new tool for safety and privacy protection.

ColorOS 14 features, changes

ColorOS 14 brings aquamorphic-themed ringtones for calls, alarms and notifications, as well as seven global UI sound designs. The new Aqua Dynamics design integrates common forms of interaction into bubbles, capsules, and panels that expand from the status bar to present information flawlessly. ColorOS 14 offers a Go Green Always-On Display to raise awareness about climate change and environmental protection. This includes three sets of Environment Vision pages, with five environment-related animations on each page that can change based on the user’s daily step count.

Further, ColorOS 14 has AI-powered Smart Touch that lets users select text, images, and videos from the system and third-party apps and collect them on the File Dock, or even consolidate them into a single note by selecting and dragging gestures. The new File Dock on the Smart Sidebar can be used to share content across apps quickly through split-screen, floating windows, or the Dock itself. The update brings a Smart Image Matting feature for cropping multiple subjects like persons and animals out from a single image or paused video.

Oppo has bundled ColorOS 14 with a Trinity Engine to enhance the smartphone’s memory, and storage capabilities. The new ROM Vitalization feature of Trinity Engine can free up memory space by compressing app and file data through App Compression and File Compression within the Phone Manager setting. It is claimed to save up to 20GB of storage space. The RAM Vitalization functionality can accelerate memory performance to boost multi-app efficiency and keep more applications alive in the background, while the CPU Vitalization feature can manage power consumption without compromising on performance.

Furthermore, ColorOS 14 features an AI algorithm known as Smart Charging that can automatically adjust the charging current based on the smartphone’s usage status to help prevent unnecessary battery wear. Picture Keeper is a new privacy feature that prevents apps from misusing permissions for photos or video

Oppo Pad Air 2 is all set to go official in China next week alongside the Oppo Reno 11 series. The new tablet comes as a successor to last year’s Oppo Pad Air. In its build-up to the launch, the Chinese brand is actively teasing the design and specifications of the tablet via social media channels. It is shown in two different shades with thick display bezels and rounded corners. The upcoming tablet has a similar design language as the original Oppo Pad Air and OnePlus Pad Go. Additionally, a tipster has leaked price details and key specifications of the device.

Oppo, via its official Weibo handle, announced the arrival of Oppo Pad Air 2 in China. The launch event will begin at 2:00pm local time (11:30pm IST) on November 23.

India Smartphone Sector Stagnant in Q3 2023, Realme Overtakes Vivo in Market Share: IDC

A recent research states that sluggish performance in the quarter caused India’s smartphone market to remain flat year over year in Q3 2023 with shipments of 44 million units. Its forecast for the market in 2023 suggests that shipments will remain steady or decline slightly. The research adds that the first two months of the third quarter, July and August, saw single-digit growth as the channels began early seasonal stocking. However, September saw the lowest shipments since 2019 due to dwindling demand and high prices.

A report by International Data Corporation (IDC) says that the Indian smartphone market maintained a flat 44 million units of shipments in Q3, resulting in a flat growth on a year-on-year basis. The ASP (average selling price) increased by 12 percent YoY and 5 percent QoQ (quarter-over-quarter) and peaked at $253 (roughly Rs. 21,000).

 

The report noted that vendors across all channels, online and offline, prioritised budget 5G smartphones over others. 5G smartphone shipments accounted for 25 million units, setting a record 58 percent share. Since most 5G models were released in the mass budget bracket ($100 < $200 (roughly Rs. 8,300 < Rs. 16,700)), the segment’s 5G share has increased from 34 percent to 52 percent. The top three 5G models shipped in the third quarter of the year were Apple’s iPhone 13, Xiaomi’s Redmi 12, and Samsung’s Galaxy A14.

Samsung overtook Vivo as the most popular brand, despite a YoY fall in shipments. Among the top five brands, Samsung had the highest ASP at $381 (roughly Rs. 31,700), increasing 43 percent year over year. The report also noted that with the help of the recently released Realme C53 and Realme 11x, the Chinese brand rose to the second position. With the exception of iQoo, Vivo had the fastest growth among the top five brands, thanks to its reasonably priced Vivo Y and Vivo T series phones. Poco and OnePlus both saw YoY growth of 50 percent or more, with the OnePlus Nord CE3 Lite accounting for 35 percent of shipments.

In just one quarter, shipments of foldable phones reached a record 500,000 units, with Samsung holding a 66 percent market share. The average selling price of foldable phones dropped from $1,319 (roughly Rs. 1,09,800) to $1,198 (roughly Rs. 99,800) from a year ago owing to new releases by Motorola at cheaper price points.

Shipments via offline channels grew by double digits in Q3 2023 and remained bigger than online channels. According to the report, a number of eTailer events (like Amazon Great India Festival and Flipkart’s Big Billion Days) with exclusive online deals and special platform pricing helped boost demand online.


Is the iQoo Neo 7 Pro the best smartphone you can buy under Rs. 40,000 in India? We discuss the company’s recently launched handset and what it has to offer on the latest episode of Orbital, the Gadgets 360 podcast. Orbital is available on Spotify, Gaana, JioSaavn, Google Podcasts, Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music and wherever you get your podcasts.

Oppo Reno 11 Series Launch Timeline Leaked; Said to Sport a Periscope Camera

Oppo Reno 11 series is expected to be introduced in the markets soon. The lineup is said to succeed the Oppo Reno 10 series that was released earlier this year in May. It came with three models – Oppo Reno 10 5G, Oppo Reno 10 Pro 5G, and Oppo Reno 10 Pro+. The purported Reno 11 series is likely to launch with considerable upgrades over the preceding models. More details about the expected models should be known closer to a launch date. A tipster has now suggested a launch timeline for the Reno 11 series.

According to a Weibo post by tipster Digital Chat Station (translated from Chinese), the Oppo Reno 11 series may launch in late November. The tipster does not specify a launch date. The post, however, adds that unlike the preceding Reno 10 series, the Reno 11 lineup is unlikely to come with a Pro+ model. Therefore, it is likely that the lineup will come with a base and a Pro model.

The tipster adds that the Honor 100 and the Huawei Nova 12 lineups are also expected to be unveiled by late November and December, respectively. The Vivo S18 series and the iQoo Neo 9 series are also said to launch by the end of December, according to the tipster.

An earlier leak from the same tipster suggested that the Reno 11 series models are likely to come with curved display, periscope telephoto, and macro cameras. The purported handsets are expected to get a new glass back panel design. They are also expected to arrive with upgraded camera sensors than the ones in the Oppo Reno 10 models.

The triple rear camera of the base Oppo Reno 10 comes with a 64-megapixel primary sensor with OIS, a 32-megapixel telephoto sensor, and an 8-megapixel sensor. For selfies and video chats, it has a 32-megapixel camera sensor. The Pro model is equipped with a 50-megapixel primary OIS-supported sensor with OIS, a 32-megapixel telephoto shooter, and an 8-megapixel sensor with a wide-angle lens. The top-of-the-line Pro+ model carries a 64-megapixel periscope sensor with OIS, a 50-megapixel Sony sensor, and an 8-megapixel wide-angle camera.

Oppo Find X7 Pro, Xiaomi 14 Ultra, Vivo X100 Pro+ Tipped to Get Sony LYT-900 Sensor

Oppo, Xiaomi, and Vivo – leading smartphone manufacturing companies, are reportedly testing new camera hardware. A tipster suggests that the firms are planning to use the new Sony LYT-900 sensor in their upcoming flagship smartphones. The models tipped to get the new Sony 1-inch sensor are the Oppo Find X7 Pro, Xiaomi 14 Ultra, and Vivo X100 Pro+. In fact, the Oppo Find X7 Pro could be the first smartphone to launch with Sony’s new LYT-900 sensors.

Tipster Digital Chat Station (translated from Chinese) shared in a Weibo post that Oppo, Xiaomi, and Vivo are testing upcoming handsets with Sony LYT-900 cameras. According to the post, the tests are running well and premium models from all three brands could feature the 1-inch Sony Lytia LYT-900 sensor in their rear camera modules.

The handsets said to get this new camera are the Oppo Find X7 Pro, Xiaomi 14 Ultra, and Vivo X100 Pro+. The post suggests that the Find X7 Pro will likely be the first among the three to be released in the market. However, if rumours about their launch dates are to be believed, it is likely that all three smartphones will be unveiled in quick succession from one another. Therefore, there will truly not be a lasting amount of exclusivity around the release of the models with the Sony LYT-900 sensors.

According to a GSMArena report, the Sony LYT-900 sensor is likely to come with a new DCG (Dual Conversion Gain) technology that is expected to reduce image noise and improve image output in low light conditions.

Recently, the Realme GT 5 Pro model, which is expected to launch soon, was reported to carry the Sony LYTIA LYT808 as its primary sensor, an OmniVision OV08D10 secondary sensor, and a Sony IMX890 telephoto sensor. In its rumoured triple rear camera unit the phone is expected to come with two 50-megapixel and an 8-megapixel shooter.

Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 Chip Confirmed to Arrive on OnePlus 12, Xiaomi 14, iQoo 12 and Realme GT5 Pro

Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 was announced by Qualcomm at the chipmaker’s annual Snapdragon Summit event on Tuesday. The new chip will power flagship Android smartphones from a range of manufacturers expected to debut in the coming weeks and months — starting with the Xiaomi 14 that will be launched on October 26. OEMs like Asus, Honor, iQoo, Meizu, Nio, Nubia, OnePlus, Oppo, Realme, Redmi, Red Magic, Sony, Vivo, Xiaomi, and ZTE will launch smartphones that are equipped with the new chip.

The Xiaomi 14 is set to debut on October 26 as the company’s next flagship smartphone and will be the first handset to be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip. Company president William Lu has already confirmed the launch of the handset in China, but the company has not announced the launch of the Xiaomi 14 in other markets, including India.

On November 7, iQoo has scheduled a launch event where the company is expected to unveil the iQoo 12 in China — this phone is confirmed to be equipped with Qualcomm’s latest flagship chip. Both Vivo and Realme have also confirmed the arrival of smartphones powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC.

Meanwhile, OnePlus and Oppo will also launch phones powered by the new Snapdragon chip. We already know the next handset from the former will be called the OnePlus 12, but the company is yet to announce a launch date. On the other hand, we can expect the Oppo Find X7 Pro to be the firm’s first smartphone to feature the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip under the hood.

Redmi K70 will debut in China as the company’s first smartphone to be powered by a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC, but there’s no official launch date for the handset at the time of publishing this article. Onthe other hand, ZTE has confirmed that upcoming phones from Nubia and Red Magic will be equipped with the flagship Snapdragon chipset.

Other smartphone manufacturers that have confirmed that their upcoming flagship phones will feature the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip — without revealing the names of the handsets — include Honor, Asus, Sony, and Motorola. We can expect more smartphone makers to announce plans to launch handsets powered by the new Snapdragon chip in the coming days and weeks.
