You’ll witness a new watery theme integration alongside Material You on ColorOS 13. It brings animation with fluid effects, colour palettes, and icon shapes. You can now add large folders on the home screen (similar to iOS) and load them with apps. Simply long press on the folder to expand it.

Another change comes in the notification section. The Bluetooth and Wi-Fi button now gets a massive dedicated room at the very top of the panel, making it easier for users to access them quickly when needed. The OS has been polished a bit to make it more accessible in one-handed and split-screen multitasking modes.

Bitmojis and information on the music player have been added to the Always-on display. Currently, the music player widget only functions with Spotify and the built-in music app. OPPO also provides information about always-on, including how many times and when you unlocked the phone.

The Multi-Screen Connect now supports connectivity between OPPO smartphones, OPPO Pad Air, and Windows PC. Users connect their smartphone to their computer via Multi-Screen Connect to display mobile apps simultaneously on the PC. Lastly, it also brings improvements in privacy and security. For example, the clipboard history will be automatically deleted after a few minutes.
