ColorOS 16 Deepens Integration with Google For Find X9 Series

OPPO’s latest Find X9 series is just around the corner. The phone is set not only to bring major improvements to camera performance but also to come with the latest ColorOS 16 Android skin. While major details about the new skin are already out, like better animations and new AI editing features, OPPO has just announced its new partnership with Google, which will integrate its AI features right in the operating system.

As per the announcement, Google’s Gemini will find a permanent home inside OPPO’s apps, specifically AI Mind Space. Think of it as a better notes app that lets you capture and store content for later reference. Users can swipe with three fingers or use the Swap key to capture content, like text, images, or documents, and Google’s AI will categorize it.

From there, you can ask questions about the content, manage the data, and even make plans. In addition, Gemini Live will enable users to point their cameras at an object and ask questions about it. Users will also have the option to use Google’s Gemini Nano Banana image generation tool to make edits to photos, as well.

That being said, giving AI access to sensitive information can be a bit risky. This is why the company says all processing happens on the OPPO AI Private Computing Cloud, which is fully encrypted and not even accessible to OPPO itself. Buyers of the new Find X9 series will also get three months of Google AI Pro subscription and 2TB cloud storage.
