OPPO is tipped to unleash the upcoming Find X8 series of premium smartphones on the global market with the most up-to-date version of Android possible. ColorOS 15 is said to come with a major overhaul in terms of user interface (UI). These new features are now available to some owners of the OEM's current flagships in the form of its first beta.

It's time for ColorOS 14 and its Aquamorphic Design to start making way for the software skin's next generation. OPPO's latest take on Android is said to improve on its predecessor in terms of fine, yet potentially important, details such as its lockscreens.

ColorOS 15 has also been found to support new "3D-detail" wallpapers and animations with a "real-time Gaussian blur" effect. It is reportedly augmented with a new, dedicated control center as well as OPPO's take on the Dynamic Island, which has been received as information-rich yet clear and concise.

The software upgrade is currently only available to owners of the Find X7-series flagships sold in the Chinese market, or the OnePlus 12 (which runs ColorOS instead of OxygenOS in that region) as a beta.

Then again, enthusiasts in possession of those eligible devices might be advised that, for all its insight into next-gen software experiences, the initial preview build is apparently riddled with bugs.  

ColorOS 15 is slated to come out of the box with OPPO's reportedly upcoming third-gen flagship tablet as well as with the members of the upcoming Find X8 series of next-gen flagship Android smartphones.

Meanwhile, the new Pixel 9 series is now available to pre-order on Amazon.
