TECH Updated: Dec 17, 2019 10:04 IST
Chinese smartphone manufacturer OPPO on Monday said its latest feature-packed ColorOS 7 is set to cater to gamers’ needs from both hardware and software aspects in India.
With a combination of smart system layers, including a set of tech solutions covering touch and frame optimization, as well as “Game Space” and Game Assistant features, ColorOS 7 offers users smooth and effortless game play.
“Mobile gaming is an integral part of the market which is why our Hyderabad-based R&D team is committed to further adapting ColorOS 7, focusing on audiovisual and gaming features designed specifically for the country’s growing mobile gaming fan base,” Martin Liu, Senior Strategy Manager of OPPO ColorOS, said in a statement.
“The recent livestreaming event highlighted some of the supreme gaming optimization embedded in ColorOS. This includes multi-tasking features and different modes that make gaming remarkably effortless, ideal for today’s interconnected gamers in India and around the world,” Liu added.
On ColorOS 7, OPPO aims to solve problems like unresponsiveness, lagging and dropped frame rate.
According to the company, by detecting and predicting game heavy loading scenarios, ColorOS 7 reallocates system resources in advance, so the game runs smoothly even in the most demanding of loading scenarios such as team battles or driving cars.
With this smart technology, the FPS (Frames Per Second) stability is increased by 38 per cent in certain popular games.
OPPO has made some special modifications for several popular games, delivering 63 per cent better touch sensitivity, the company added.

Tinder, Netflix and Tencent lead consumer spending on non-gaming apps in 2019: Report
App Annie in its report said that Tinder’s leading position shouldn’t be a surprising as dating apps have “unlocked the keys to monetization through subscriptions.” Their combined annual revenue grew by 920% between 2014 and 2019, the report added.
TECH Updated: Dec 17, 2019 10:18 IST
Tinder, Netflix Inc. and Tencent Holdings Ltd. took the top three spots in App Annie’s 2019 ranking of consumer spending on non-gaming apps, underlining the growing importance of subscription services for generating revenue.
Games offering in-app purchases of virtual currency and upgrades, commonly called microtransactions, continued to lead overall rankings, with video subscriptions dominating the rest of the field. Even before the much-anticipated Disney+ and Apple TV+ services have taken off, Baidu Inc.’s iQiyi, Google’s YouTube and Alibaba Group Holding’s Youku all ranked in the top 10 apps by revenue. This comes in a year when App Annie said total new app downloads and consumer spending will both break records, judging from data collected from January to November.
Tinder’s leading position should not be a surprise, said App Annie, as dating apps of its kind have “unlocked the keys to monetization through subscriptions” and their combined annual revenue has grown 920% between 2014 and 2019, exceeding $2.2 billion in the current year. Facebook Inc. retained its historic lead on overall app downloads, with the top three most-downloaded apps globally remaining Facebook Messenger, Facebook and WhatsApp for the sixth year in a row. It launched its own Facebook Dating service in September.
By the close of 2019, App Annie said consumers will have downloaded 120 billion new apps across Apple Inc.’s iOS App Store and Google’s Play Store -- that’s without factoring in app updates, re-installations of existing apps or Android installs done via unofficial means. The number marks a 5% increase on last year, and the app-tracking company predicted the record will be broken again in 2020. Consumer revenue is said to be growing at 15% each year, with 2019 set to record close to $90 billion, another new high.
On the gaming front, Sea Ltd.’s Free Fire, the app that has minted two billionaires already, garnered the most global downloads, followed by Tencent’s PUBG Mobile. Call of Duty: Mobile, another Tencent property, also made it into the top 10 for the year, in spite of only being released at the start of October. Sony Corp.’s Fate/Grand Order took the title as most lucrative game -- and overall app -- of the year, followed by Tencent’s Honour of Kings and perennial moneymaker Candy Crush Saga by Activision Blizzard Inc. All three games are free to play, deriving their massive revenues from small purchases of in-game perks and upgrades.
Looking for the breakout hits of the year, App Annie highlighted Likee by YY Inc., an app for sharing short videos akin to TikTok, as the one with the largest absolute growth in downloads during the year. Two more apps by the same company were in the top four: Noizz for editing video and Hago for social gaming, the latter being especially popular with young users in Indonesia, according to the researchers.
For 2020, App Annie said it expects to see each of the current trends intensifying, with video-centric apps and subscription-based services growing in importance, ubiquity and revenue.
