ColorOS 17, the new software platform from Oppo, has begun its closed beta testing phase for select devices from Oppo, OnePlus, and Realme in both China and international markets. This marks a strategic move in consolidating the Android ecosystem, following OnePlus's withdrawal from the European and U.S. markets and the discontinuation of OxygenOS and Realme UI. Users can now register for the beta program, signaling a shift in the competitive landscape of mobile operating systems (notebookcheck.net).
Meanwhile, China's trade sector continues to thrive, driven by rising global demand for AI technology. In July, the country reported a significant increase in exports and imports, reinforcing its position as a key player in the tech industry. This growth is attributed to the increasing reliance on Chinese-made AI products by international markets, highlighting the nation's growing influence in the global tech supply chain (punchng.com).
Additionally, some Android users have reported issues with Google Wallet's NFC payments on devices running Chinese firmware after updating to Google Play Services 26.28.xx. Payments failed despite the app showing no errors and NFC being enabled, raising concerns about compatibility between Google services and Chinese-based Android modifications (manilashaker.com).
