Did you think that copying is no longer a thing in the mobile world, so to speak? Footbridge error! A few hours ago, the Chinese OPPO once again proved to the world that it is not afraid of copying in any case and is therefore able to adopt elements for its systems that the competition has already presented in some form.
ColorOS 15 is the latest version of the operating system, or superstructure, from OPPO, which was officially unveiled at the OPPO Developer Conference on October 17, 2024. It is based on Android 15 and brings a number of new features and improvements, such as a smoother user interface, better animations and smarter interaction with the system. For example, improved options for customizing the lock screen, new control center options and so on have also been added. And looking at both the video above and the official images below, one cannot help but feel that OPPO was copying from "someone". Anyway, judge for yourself.
But to be fair to OPPO, copying parts of software has become commonplace in the mobile world in recent years, just as some smartphone manufacturers still stick to copying hardware features. For example, after the introduction of Dynamic IslandIn the iPhone 14 Pro, a number of Android phones received this feature, as well as various Lock Screen effects and so on.
The paradox is that many such Chinese phones with similar software iOS is often faster and smoother than the iphoneChina just knows how to do it.
I certainly agree that China can do software, but it has to want to. Everyone copies anyway, so let them copy from each other why not. Other things are better for me in China (cameras, endurance for one charge), that's the most important thing for me, and the software, if it's not completely but completely useless, then great. I'm looking forward to the Vivo X200 Pro because this year's iPhones have disappointed me in everything, including the software. Nothing major and I won't put money into it this time. I will sell the iP 15 Pro and wait for Vivo in the new year. Far better buy for me
Yes, they have to want to, they probably have a different view on coir. I also don't like to see that every other device wants to look like another, but the big brands can often squeeze more out of it. Their pressure to succeed is overwhelming. I was looking at the Vivo X200 Pro and wow. Absolutely no phone takes pictures like this today, with a giant battery and SW, the speed of which others just stare at. Why are today's big companies driving away customers in the hands of Chinese brands like this.
These big companies think that their customers will continue to buy from them, but that over time nestI think their sales will go down and down and then maybe the Chinese will overtake them in sales. I wouldn't be surprised in a few years. And Vivo, hats off to what they introduced. So far, all praise. I'm looking forward to it here
I know that this is not important and it concerns an absolute minority of customers, but just on the side.
Some Oppo system may look more like IOS, it may be faster, smoother and seemingly prettier for me, but if you try to go deeper, you will find that the only thing the Chinese can do is just the facade on the surface. I would not say that they can do software as such any better than Apple or Google. They just know how to polish it better. But taking the core from Android and IOS graphics, that's just building on the shoulders of titans and there won't be much real innovation there.
This phone, for example, will never talk to me because what looks graphically appealing iOS would turn out to be a messy graphic coloring book, with disjointed elements, and when you try to control or focus it other than through predetermined touch gestures, you will find that the errors and shortcomings are hidden just below the surface. Sure, that's enough for most regular users, but anyone who wants to do anything unconventional with it, talk to it, control it via an external keyboard, run some specific tasks on it, may just find out that it's not such a great thing.
Maybe you're right, but I personally don't want AI talking to me or checking what I'm doing on my phone. And not at all to send it to servers somewhere. The Chinese may have it polished, as you say, under the surface, but at least they can't be seen. It doesn't change the fact that he's the only one now Apple They haven't fixed anything with Samsung for about 2 years and they keep releasing patch updates that bring more and more bugs. And I was a total supporter of that until now Applu, but what he's been showing off lately is really miserable and for me, for the money, it's already nestoh. Cheaper China and it's like that now offers more for me and everything works as it should
But I don't want some AI talking to me. I'm talking about the Voiceover utility for the blind, which is being developed as part of the system on iPhones all the time, while on Android you can only pray that sometime, someone, something, somewhere, maybe, will try.
