More and more brands and technology companies are encouraging themselves to incorporate Artificial Intelligence into their products. Recently, the renowned Chinese smart device brand, OPPO, rode the wave and included AI in its ColorOS operating system with the intention of improving it.
This OPPO software currently has 600 million active users on its smartphones. Its latest version, ColorOS 14, was presented just a few months ago. The update is accompanied by interesting news, one of them is the intelligent engine called Trinity. Let's see what other surprises ColorOS 14 brings us.

ColorOS 14 features improved Aquamorphic design
OPPO is committed to exploring cutting-edge technologies for the development of user-oriented products and this is demonstrated with the optimization of ColorOS 14.
ColorOS 14 is optimized with a new Aquamorphic design, which features improved sound effects, a dynamic color system, and more intuitive interactions.
This new design is inspired by water and had already been introduced by OPPO in ColorOS 13. The Aquamorphic design language sought to establish a harmonious connection between humans and technology. In version 14 this concept has been improved.
For example, the system Aquamorphic Coloring intelligently adapts to context, matching the colors to the state of the phone, the time or the content on the screen. Features that make the reception of information more effective for the user.
Another new feature of ColorOS 14 is the dynamic Aqua Dynamics, which enables more intuitive interactions by integrating interaction forms into naturally flowing elements like bubbles and panels.
AI-powered smart features
ColorOS 14 includes AI-powered features to aincrease efficiency, such as Smart Touch and Smart Image Matting.
Smart Touch allows users collect content between apps with simple gestures. For example, selecting text from different apps and consolidating it into a note. While Smart Image Matting makes it easy to crop multiple subjects from one image, such as people or animals, to then edit and share them.
These features integrate with File Dock, a new sidebar that makes it easy to share content between apps in split-screen or floating view.
Improvements in performance and resource management
In addition to AI, another of the OPPO news is Trinity engine in ColorOS 14. It efficiently manages resources such as memory, storage and CPU for smoother performance.
The Trinity engine is composed of three technologies ROM Vitalization, RAM Vitalization and CPU Vitalization. Technologies like ROM Vitalization can free up up to 20GB of space by compressing data and system files. Meanwhile, RAM Vitalization keeps more apps active in the background.
Finally, CPU Vitalization determines the optimal balance between performance and battery consumption. Additionally, smart charging adjusts current based on phone usage to prevent battery deterioration.
More functions will be added to improve the memory management system, as announced by the company. The promise they have made to their users is that with these new implementations the speed of use of their devices will be even greater.
