[OPPO Find X5 Pro General] XDARoni:
While many users of the OPPO Find X5 Pro are enjoying the new ColorOS 12.1 experience, some people might not know just how powerful and effective some of the included tools can be. Certain areas of the user experience have received a strong focus on improvement. This can particularly be found with efficiency features, audio/visual experience, and safety. In this thread, I'm going to go over many different aspects of ColorOS 12.1, which will let you be a power user.

Smart and Efficient​

Multi-screen connect

Everyone shares the load of work and play between their smartphone and computer. OPPO is always looking for ways to make the connection between these two devices simpler. With Multi-Screen Connect, you can sync notifications, files, and the clipboard, across the two devices. This means that when you switch to your pc, you can set your phone down and not bother checking it for any incoming notifications.

This feature is especially useful for anyone that does productivity work on both their mobile and PC. A more unified experience with the two devices means fewer distractions and an easier workflow.

Tip: The most effective way to take advantage of Multi-screen connect is with wireless file transfer. Use the 256GB of storage on the OPPO Find X5 Pro as a backup drive for all of your work documents.

Flexdrop 2.0

It took me a while before I got the hang of the split-screen type feature on my OPPO Find X5 Pro. Flexdrop 2.0 offers split-screen and floating windows. Both of these types of multitasking environments can be adjusted as you see fit.

To get started with Flexdrop 2.0, go to the Special features menu in the settings. Here you’ll be able to change the settings for Flexible windows and Smart Sidebar. Both of these play a role in your ideal Flexdrop 2.0 setup.

Tip: The best Flexdrop 2.0 configuration

Smart Sidebar - Toggle on

Show app names - Toggle off

Button free Flexible windows - Toggle on

Quick-hide windows in-game - Toggle on

This is the most distraction-free and easiest way to take advantage of Flexdrop 2.0.

Air Gesture

As a new feature in ColorOS 12.1, the goal of Air Gestures is simple. This lets you scroll through websites and apps with the flip of your hard. You can also control incoming calls with air gestures, but I think very few people will actually use that.

Turn on Air Gestures and go through the tutorial. Once you’re all set up, you can scroll through apps without physically interacting with your phone.

Tip: Use Air Gestures to scroll through TikTok. Prop your phone up at an angle when you’re at your work desk, then casually flip through videos without touching your phone.

Adaptive Sleep

If you’re tired of your screen dimming or shutting off when you’re trying to read something, enable the Adaptive Sleep feature. This feature uses access to your camera to detect when you’re looking at your screen. Your screen will no longer shut off when you don’t interact with it, as long as you’re looking at your device.

Tip: Use adaptive sleep for long meetings, so you avoid audible screen touches or button presses through your microphone.

Audio/Visual/Physical experience​

Color Vision Enhancement

Color Vision Enhancement is much more than just a higher color saturation of your display. This settings menu lets you test different color filters to find the best visual setup.

Tip: Take the color vision test to determine which color settings are the best for you.

O-Haptics

The revamped user experience extends to the physical feedback that you get from your phone as well. Equipped with the most powerful vibration motor in any phone, the OPPO Find X5 Pro is the perfect device to take advantage of the O-Haptics settings. You can adjust the way your haptics feel with an intensity slider.

Tip: Set “How touches feel” to Crisp or Gentle to further customize the feel.

Binaural Recording

A more immersive and realistic audio result will be paired with your videos when you shoot video on the OPPO Find X5 Pro. Expect clearer vocals and less background noise intrusion when you watch your footage back.

Tip: Turn on Smart mode in Audio effects if you use digital zoom when you film. This mode can focus the recorded audio on your subject as you zoom in on it.

For an experience that merges all of the new audio, visual, and physical enhancements, try O-relax. This included app contains many different relaxing ambient sounds, visual stress releases, and world immersion using O-Haptics.

Tip: Explore the Alien World in O-Relax for a very interesting look at an impressive display of all of these features in one place.

Safety and Privacy​

Privacy Control

ColorOS is known for implementing some powerful privacy tools. Use these tools to control access to apps, permissions, camera/microphone, and more. You can even set up an entirely fresh system with System cloner, or hide specific apps that you don’t want others to see.

Tip: Regularly check your Privacy dashboard, to see which apps are using sensitive permissions like camera, location, and microphone.

Accessibility

Smartphones are always including more accessibility options that make these devices easier to use for more people. Check out the large number of options that are listed in the accessibility setting menu.

Tip: Toggle on Amplify speech volume, to really boost the max volume of text-to-speech features when you’re in loud environments.

Use these features to maximize your usage of ColorOS 12.1, and use your OPPO Find X5 Pro to its full extent. If you have more ColorOS tips or questions about these features, leave a comment in this thread.
