Oppo has begun the stable rollout of ColorOS 16 based on Android 16 for select smartphones in India. The update is currently limited to Indian users. Oppo has not confirmed when it will roll out to other regions, but the company says wider availability is planned.

The stable ColorOS 16 update is now available for the OPPO K13 Turbo Pro 5G and OPPO K13 Turbo 5G. Users can apply for the official version starting December 9. For the OPPO K13 Turbo Pro 5G, the required detectable version is CPH2731_16.0.1.301(EX01). For the OPPO K13 Turbo 5G, users must be on version CPH2761_16.0.1.300(EX01).

Oppo recommends backing up all important data before installing the update, as system incompatibility or unexpected issues could result in data loss. After installation, the system will run background optimizations. During this period, users may notice heating, lag, or faster battery drain. Oppo advises charging the device overnight with the screen turned off or continuing normal usage, as performance should return to normal within a few days. Some third-party apps may not yet support Android 16 and could crash or lag until updated. Bugs can be reported by opening the dialer and entering *#800#.

ColorOS 16 introduces several AI-powered features under OPPO AI. AI Mind Space allows users to capture ideas by long-pressing the Snap Key to record a 60-second voice note. Notes can be grouped automatically using Smart Collections. Integration with Google Gemini allows users to retrieve saved notes and combine them with web search results using voice queries.

The AI Recorder Assistant automatically generates titles and summaries for recordings and applies AI noise reduction to improve voice clarity. AI Writer can generate platform-specific social media captions from images, convert text into mind maps, and organize content into tables.

ColorOS 16 also improves cross-device connectivity. When connected via Bluetooth, iPhone calls and SMS messages can be synced to Oppo phones using the Oppo Dialer. iPhone app notifications can also be mirrored on Oppo devices. Phone screen mirroring to PC is supported through USB or cloud connection, with support for casting up to five individual app windows at the same time.

Performance upgrades include the new Trinity Engine, designed to maintain stable frame rates during heavy multitasking, and the Luminous Rendering Engine, which delivers smoother system animations across the interface.

Camera and creation tools include AI Portrait Glow for improved facial lighting, Motion Photo Collage with slow-motion playback, and an all-in-one video editor with clip trimming, speed control, resolution adjustment, frame rate selection, and background music support.

Design updates include Flux Themes with Motion Photo or video lock screens, expanded icon and widget sizing, app drawer category sorting, enhanced Aqua Dynamics live alerts, and new Luminous Design visuals. Security additions include OPPO Lock with Call to Lock support in India and SIM Lock, which locks the device instantly if the SIM card is removed.
