- Better touch response: the system reacts to touch pressure and direction with elastic motion and lighting effects.
- Performance claims: Oppo claims 55% more stable app launches and 25% better app memory retention, so apps stay open in the background for longer.

- AI Mind Pilot and AI Mind Suggest: AI assistants that can carry out tasks and give proactive suggestions, for example for travel.
- AI Photo Agent: edit photos by typing what you want changed.

Before you update
