Earlier this month, a rumor from China claimed Oppo’s ColorOS 17 will likely be closely impressed by Apple’s Liquid Glass design language, borrowing fairly a number of components from it whereas retaining the impact much less clear than what Apple did in iOS 26 (it is price noting that Apple itself is firming down Liquid Glass’ transparency in iOS 27 whereas additionally supplying you with a slider to customise it).
Nevertheless, it looks as if that rumor was merely pure conjecture. Immediately, ColorOS design director Chen Xi posted on Weibo saying that ColorOS 17 will give attention to bettering the essential consumer expertise, and can thus not embrace a giant redesign. New options can even be postponed – it is unclear if meaning they are going to arrive in a ColorOS 17.1 or 17.5, for instance, or we’ll have to attend till ColorOS 18 comes out.
Anyway, he claims that a few of Oppo’s opponents could also be pursuing an analogous design to Apple’s Liquid Glass, however (at the least for now) Oppo is not. That just about settles it then. What do you assume? Do you want the present ColorOS design? Or would you could have preferred it to go the iOS method? Tell us within the feedback.
