OPPO Reno4 is arguably one of the company’s best value mid-range offerings in recent years. Other than sporting 48MP quad-cameras, Super AMOLED display, and Snapdragon 720G, it’s also a beautiful and attractive device to use. But as much as we want to praise the outer layer, the inner layer, which is the software, is equally as exciting as well. Running on ColorOS 7.2 customized Android skin, these are the best software features of the Reno4 that may just improve your overall mobile experience.

Make Everything One-Hand Friendly
Smartphones today are indeed big, bold, and large. While it does make the viewing activity a lot more immersive, it also makes one-hand usage a task. But thanks to the continuous development of software for better user experience, ColorOS 7.2 lets the phone adapt to you. The integrated “icon pull-down gesture” positions app icons at the bottom of the screen to make it reachable by the thumb.
Faster and Smoother Loading
Though not as deliberate as gestures, ColorOS can predict which apps you’re going to use next. Thanks to the AI APP Preloading algorithm, it preloads the apps that you mostly used for faster and smoother loading times.
Better Screen Recorder
OPPO brings screen recording to a whole new level with the new version of ColorOS. Aside from the fact that you can record the screen, internal audio, and microphone simultaneously, the front camera is also capable of recording when you want to do a live commentary and such.
