  this time october eligible devices are scheduled

  to receive the update starting october 29. so
• 2:27
  let's get into color os 17 design performance
• 2:30
  and features you will see soon on your device
• 2:35
  so color os 17 introduces the living flow design
• 2:40
  quote unquote so it's built around the luminous
• 2:43
  effect fluid animations and flexible feedback
• 2:48
  the interface uses lighting and emotion to make
• 2:52
  interactions feel more dynamic while updated
• 2:55
  visual elements give the software a clean and
• 2:58
  refreshed look the luminous effect i just mentioned
• 3:01
  that introduces a translucent materials soft
• 3:05
  highlights and lighting that responds to touch
• 3:08
  Fluid motion focuses on smoother transitions
• 3:11
  between screens and interface states, while flexible
• 3:15
  feedback makes buttons, toolbars, and other elements
• 3:18
  compress and bounce back as you interact with
• 3:22
  them. The living clock is one of the most noticeable
• 3:25
  lock screen changes. you can resize it move it
• 3:29
  around and its appearance transitions between
• 3:31
  always on display lock screen and home screen
• 3:35
  through a continuous animation its position also
• 3:39
  changes how app icons enter the home screen notifications
• 3:43
  expand with a more gradual clock animation and
• 3:48
  you can choose between stacked and list layouts
• 3:52
  the mountain way lock screen theme Responds to
• 3:57
  the weather with a changing lighting and dynamic
• 4:00
  rain as well as snow effects. Colorwell S17 also
• 4:04
  updates the media player on the lock screen as
• 4:07
  well. Tapping the live capsule expands the player
• 4:11
  into a more immersive view using the album art
• 4:15
  from a song, album, or playlist. A blur at the
• 4:18
  top and bottom fills the screen while the luminous
• 4:21
  effect adds a soft glow to the media player card.
• 4:25
  the feature works with music apps across the
• 4:28
  board a lock screen shortcuts have new bouncy
• 4:32
  animations and a translucent look notifications
• 4:35
  also animate more smoothly when expanded with
• 4:39
  the same glow effect used throughout the interface
• 4:42
  the control center has more rounded icons and
• 4:46
  a redesigned media player with a large more immersive
• 4:49
  album art view color os 17 also supports playing
• 4:53
  audio through two bluetooth devices at the same
• 4:57
  time now let's jump into some performance improvements
• 5:01
  under the hood oppo has introduced a dual engine
• 5:06
  architecture combining its rendering and animation
• 5:09
  systems the unified rendering architecture reduces
• 5:13
  rendering workload by up to 30 percent and ram
• 5:18
  usage for rendering by up to 25 percent the laminar
• 5:22
  flow engine focuses on app launches and multitasking
• 5:26
  opel claims app launch stability improves by
• 5:30
  55 percent gallery thumbnails load up to 50 faster
• 5:34
  on the first launch and more than 25 additional
• 5:38
  apps can remain in the background system memory
• 5:43
  reserves are also reduced by up to 18 percent
• 5:47
  contributing to a claimed 15 % improvement in
• 5:51
  overall device performance. Oppo says its six
• 5:55
  -layer simulation showed that ColorOS 17 retained
• 5:58
  more than 90 % of its smoothness, even when storage
• 6:02
  was at 90 % full. These figures are based on
• 6:06
  Oppo's internal testing. Now let's jump into
• 6:10
  some of ColorOS's AI features. Something everybody
• 6:15
  loves, AI. well they got plenty of ai for you
• 6:19
  let's go so ai mind pilot is color os's agent
• 6:25
  based assistant it's designed to carry out tasks
• 6:28
  across local files and photos it can find travel
• 6:32
  pictures sort and rename files, create albums,
• 6:36
  make vlog covers. It can also turn brainstorming
• 6:40
  notes into presentations and use travel tickets
• 6:43
  or reservations to build you an itinerary. The
• 6:48
  feature initially supports ChatGPT and Manus
• 6:51
  with users able to connect their own accounts.
• 6:55
  Oppo says Manus support for processing local
• 6:58
  files and photos will arrive in a future update.
• 7:03
  Now let's jump into this new AI Photo Agent.
• 7:06
  This looks cool. I think it's something I'm going
• 7:08
  to be using quite a bit. So AI Photo Agent makes
• 7:12
  photo editing more flexible through prompt -based
• 7:15
  edits and style match. Users can apply a particular
• 7:19
  look and adjust its intensity with a slider,
• 7:23
  while AI tools handle object edits, portrait
• 7:26
  retouching, lighting, color, image quality, and
• 7:30
  recomposition. The system uses six specialized
• 7:34
  models to handle these editing tasks. It can
• 7:38
  also use a depth information to recreate lighting
• 7:41
  effects. AI photo agent works with static images
• 7:45
  and availability and usage limits may vary by
• 7:49
  region. Now let's jump into the ever useful AI
• 7:53
  mind space. AI Mindspace acts as a central place
• 7:59
  to save useful information including documents,
• 8:02
  bills, articles, video links. Its memory collections
• 8:06
  feature can organize saved material into summaries
• 8:10
  containing texts, images, tables, and maps. Now
• 8:15
  this can be particularly useful when planning
• 8:18
  a trip. Instead of manually going through saved
• 8:22
  links and documents, users can bring relevant
• 8:25
  information together into a single collection.
• 8:28
  They're also bringing AI Mind Suggest. AI Mind
• 8:35
  Suggest surfaces information based on context
• 8:40
  on your home screen widget. So for example, in
• 8:43
  India, it can show make my trip train cards with
• 8:48
  schedules booking status live updates and pnr
• 8:53
  information it can also recommend spotify content
• 8:56
  when compatible headphones are connected now
• 9:00
  this next feature is pretty cool they call it
• 9:03
  oc so this adds a visual ai tool to the camera
• 9:08
  experience It can recognize objects and provide
• 9:11
  information about them, identify birds, estimate
• 9:15
  the calories in food, and help users check for
• 9:18
  potential allergens. The feature also supports
• 9:21
  document scanning and real -time translations.
• 9:26
  Speaking of translations, they've added AI Live
• 9:31
  Interpreter. So AI Live Interpreter supports
• 9:35
  real -time translations through compatible Oppo
• 9:38
  Inco X4 and OnePlus Buds Pro 4 earbuds on select
• 9:43
  color OS 17 devices. The feature is designed
• 9:48
  to make conversations across languages easier
• 9:50
  without requiring users to keep checking their
• 9:53
  phone. Sort of like Google Translate, how you
• 9:56
  always have to type in stuff, hold it to the
• 9:59
  other person's ear. No, this will be done all
• 10:02
  on buds on device in real time. You're also getting
• 10:06
  AI Call Guard. AI Call Guard can detect synthetic
• 10:11
  voices and AI generated face swaps during phone
• 10:16
  calls, helping users identify potential scammers.
• 10:19
  oppo says the feature is available in india and
• 10:22
  it will come to future regions soon privacy is
• 10:27
  also a big point of interest on color os 17 because
• 10:33
  this introduces a private computing cloud now
• 10:37
  this private computing cloud uses end -to -end
• 10:40
  encryption and a secure processing environment
• 10:43
  designed to prevent third -party access including
• 10:46
  access by oppo the system adds post quantum protection
• 10:50
  for data in transit a new transparency report
• 10:55
  records the services used and the operations
• 10:58
  performed users can view or export the report
• 11:02
  to better understand how their data is being
• 11:04
  handled and or processed now let's get into the
• 11:08
  color os 17 rollout schedule and the eligible
• 11:13
  devices for this new operating system The October

  Pad 4. So that is exactly the timetable for ColorOS
• 12:34
  17 on your BBK slash Oppo slash OnePlus slash
• 12:40
  Realme devices. Now, there was a beta program
• 12:44
  today. assuming i didn't wake up early enough
• 12:48
  now they are on a completely different time schedule
• 12:50
  so i obviously missed the open window from when
• 12:54
  you can enroll however i hear there's only like
• 12:57
  a limited slots available anyways i was going
• 13:00
  to enroll the oneplus 15 into the beta program
• 13:03
  for this color os 17 but it filled up within
• 13:07
  i'm assuming a few minutes because i think there's
• 13:10
  only like 500 slots available so i was going
• 13:13
  to test the beta out Get a head start. But it
• 13:16
  looks like I'm going to have to wait with everybody
• 13:18
  else. It does suck. We did not get it today.
• 13:22
  I was on record saying that we were going to
• 13:25
  get it today for OnePlus 15. I was obviously
• 13:27
  wrong. Today was the launch day, not the update
• 13:30
  day. But at least we now have something concrete,
• 13:35
  a complete concrete schedule, a date you can
• 13:39
  mark on your calendar. Boom. October 29th. you're
• 13:43
  getting the update. The updates begin. So the
• 13:47
  29th cannot get here fast enough. Let me know
• 13:51
  down below in the comments. Let me know what
• 13:53
  device you got and when yours is going to be
• 13:57
  updated because I cannot wait for this update.
• 14:00
  It looks in freaking credible. This looks like
• 14:06
  one of the best, I was going to say Android experiences.
• 14:09
  It looks like it might be the best software period.
• 14:12
  Now, I daily drive a Samsung S26 Ultra. I'm really
• 14:16
  familiar with One UI. I really like One UI, to
• 14:20
  be honest with you. I have Pixel, obviously.
• 14:22
  I got a bunch of different phones and a bunch
• 14:23
  of different operating systems. I like One UI
• 14:26
  a lot. But this one looks like it could jump
• 14:31
  to the top of the list. I was going through some
• 14:33
  of the features today. I watched their live event.
• 14:36
  I'll put a link down below for Oppo's event that
• 14:39
  they had earlier today. Looks incredible. They
• 14:43
  did liquid glass better than Apple did liquid
• 14:48
  glass. I know the Apple team, Apple developers,
• 14:52
  everybody employed by Apple in Cupertino, California.
• 14:55
  I bet they're kicking themselves. This looks
• 14:59
  like liquid glass times a thousand. It looks
• 15:04
  awesome. So we'll just leave it there. Subscribe
• 15:07
  to the eSIM Studios channel. I'm going to cover
• 15:10
  this extensively. I'm going to do a ton of reviews,
• 15:13
  a ton of how to's and everything in between.

  Appreciate your time. Catch you on the next one.
