Oppo’s integration of AI-powered features into its ColorOS through the New Year Edition update marks a significant advancement in the capabilities of their smartphones. Here’s a breakdown of the key features and the devices set to receive them first:
- AI Deletion Feature: Similar to the magic eraser on the Pixel 8 series, this feature enables users to highlight specific areas in images, allowing the AI to automatically detect and remove unwanted objects or people from the background.
- AI Call Summary: During calls, users can initiate “smart consumption,” where the AI listens to the conversation. After the call, a summary is generated, including short paragraphs and bullet points, accessible by tapping on the status bar.
- Enhancements to Xiaobu Voice Assistant: The Xiaobu voice assistant receives improvements in dialogues and speech capabilities through generative AI. Additionally, new skills are added, enabling it to perform more complex tasks and a greater number of general tasks. Xiaobu Photo Studio and AI Greeting Cards features are also introduced, allowing users to generate AI images and design customized New Year greeting cards, respectively.
The ColorOS New Year Edition update will initially roll out to 16 smartphones across Oppo and OnePlus in China. The devices slated to receive the update include:
- Oppo Find X7 and Find X7 Ultra
- Oppo Reno 11 and Reno 11 Pro
- OnePlus 12
- Oppo Find X6 series
- Oppo Reno 10 series
- Oppo Find N3 and Find N3 Flip

It’s worth noting that while these features are currently focused on the Chinese market, there’s no confirmation yet regarding their availability on the global version of ColorOS. However, Oppo’s initiative underscores its commitment to leveraging AI to enhance user experiences across its smartphone lineup.
