OPPO is promoting a new Quantum Animation Engine that aims to deliver realistic animation effects in ColorOS 12. The brand says it "mimics the physical habits of drag, swing and rebound" to deliver intuitive animations through the user interface.

ColorOS12 provides screen connectivity that lets you connect your computer and phone when they are close together to collaborate between displays. You can simply drag and drop between two screens for ultra-fast file transfers, seamless document editing, shared clipboards, shared document editing, and shared screenshots.
