This includes an updated look in the UI with new icons, dynamic lighting effects, natural light and shadow elements. The new Aurora and Tidal engines bring system-level rendering that allows you to run app animations in parallel so you get responsive and lag-free animations when quickly switching between apps.
The system continuously introduces new motion effects with smoother animations and several system-level optimizations that led to an 18% improvement in app responsiveness and a 26% faster app installation process. Oppo is also bringing a system-level dynamic cache allocation that manages resources in real-time and ensures liquidity during operation.
