hey what is up guys I'm Kay PhD here and the oppo fine five has evolved a lot since I first reviewed it earlier this year in fact it's gotten almost constant over-the-air updates straight from Oppo in fact if you go to Oppo is Google+ page you can see pretty much a list of the change log of all the updates and the dates that they happen and they show up on the phone and show up over-the-air so in an attempt to maintain this as a really high-end phone they've spent a lot of time making sure this thing gets constant updates the update I'm about to show you guys has never been seen before this is the first video on the Internet of it this is project Firefly on the Oppo find five so if you remember my samsung galaxy s4 features explained video which will be the first link below the like button if you don't you'll remember that Samsung has basically discovered that adding features to a phone via software has been really successful compared to adding features via hardware so a lot of other companies have actually gotten on board with this in fact HTC has gotten on board as you've seen the HTC One and all its various features HTC happens to name all of them various different things LG has also got on born and followed sort of in Samsung's footsteps maybe a little bit too much in Samsung's footsteps they pretty much copied Samsung but a lot of different companies are also on board and Oppo has pretty much figured out that if this phone is going to be a beast on the hardware side you might as well make it awesome on the software side too so they're also adding features via software and they have taken a little bit of a different approach but it's definitely worth checking out I want to preface this by saying that I'm showing you guys a preview version of the software and not fully complete yet but definitely coming soon so again this is the first video you guys are seeing of it take a look so first of all the whole design and the user interface is nice and fresh and clean and polished and smooth Caixin point the settings so I'll go ahead and show you the notification bar here you can see there's a new green and white theme definitely good-looking and you can see the theme here but when we go into settings and you can hear the new tap sound definitely pretty cool but you can now swipe through settings this is the first like main step in the ability to properly navigate a ton of settings on a device like this I'll go ahead and swap all the way down you can see we're running Android version 4.1 if I go ahead and view about phone here Android version 4 point one you can still get more system notifications and updates and things like that but this is still the same beast of a powerful phone that we saw in the original review so there's a lot of new animations now that you'll see there's a lot of sliding through the notifications for example if I go into the messaging app and I want to hit menu you can see it shifts up and it Gray's it out just little things like that are way more polished I hit back and you can see it fades duck decked out and Nothingness just all the different things about the animations the way this works are a lot more smooth and polished and I definitely like the way the things animate especially that little menu animation I definitely dig that now I did a couple of other little polished things like the multitasking menu for example you might remember was very weird on the old one now you have a similar menu but now it's kuhmo to the old style of Android vertical scrolling swipe out to remove applications and even a clear button to clear all your memory and remove all the programs something you have free memory there's also a new keyboard and like I said this isn't a fully complete version but you'll see the new keyboard theme which is a little bit crazy but it's definitely new and I don't like the way if you change things just to change it I don't usually like that but if you change it to make it better I tend to be a fan of that so changing things and here you can see the new animation for swiping over nice and fast all the stuff is happening on a 1080p display battery life is unaffected so I'm really impressed with the overall polished level that we've seen but now for the added features first of all this is cool full screen widgets this is a full screen widget that I added basically I hit the menu button and it brought me to the all the wallpapers and stuff that I'll go through in a second but I added a full screen widget and this is the photos one and this is pretty cool so I added a whole bunch of different photos that I took basically I tapped here to start taking pictures and you can see the live camera down there I take a new picture and it adds it to my timeline and there's a timeline here of all the different photos that I've taken over the course of an event and you can of course edit or delete that photo so that's a whole different full screen widget that just takes over the entire experience see the dock icons they change to make sense with media so this is a basically full screen media widget there's another one cool here called the music one which is really awesome if I was using the stock music player I could drag that on and start playing music that is insane and the graphics all are really crisp and detailed because well this is a 1080p display the phone takes full advantage of it and it's nice and smooth and again the dock icon is changed to work perfectly with that there are even themes so I can in menu and go to the themes store and hit more and it'll open up a store and again it's not English completely yet because it's still in the works but there is a full-on theme that you can add to your device so a lot of people are like oh well how do I get the apps you have on your home screen or how do I have that icon pack well Oppo has its own store where you can basically pick an icon pack and set it as your default and then all your home screen icons can change so if you don't like the stock ones that come with project Firefly then you can just pick one from the store a lot of them are free some of them are paid but I don't think I would ever pay for any of them but you can grab one and set that to again you can sit maybe this one as my home screen here again wallpapers they have some new wallpapers in here as well and we have a section called old lab this is insane this is a whole new level of interaction so let's say I want a weather one and it's raining outside and I kind of want to set the mood I hit the rain button and it changes the wallpaper and it adds a live wallpaper rain effect it doesn't affect performance at all but now it is raining on my home screen let's try another one I like the snow one because it was kind of snowing recently so I'll go ahead and add snow and it changes the wallpaper to snow and it starts snowing on my icons and you can see after a little bit snow actually begins to accumulate on my dock icon so there's frost and snow on my dock icons that is crazy that is insane and again performance is unaffected I can still go in and out of apps and multitask and use all of this RAM effectively because it's a beast of a phone that s4 pro power is everything but now we have frost at the bottom here if I ever want to go back I can change the old lab stuff by turning it off just like go back into my wallpapers here and I'm gonna go ahead and select a photo I have and I'm gonna go back to the Firefly one and I can keep the Firefly one and keep having snow on my home screen how sick is that so that's a pretty incredible level of detail so if you really want to get that immersive experience I mean talk about adding features that's something that some average people will actually kind of like but yeah so there it is guys that is project Firefly on the Oppo find 5 it is really really new now again this is the first video on the internet that you guys are seeing of it but it exists now it's a project it's a thing and I have faith that Oppo is gonna put a lot of time and effort into making this really really intense like making this a very big part of selling the Oppo find 5 so overall from all the different things we've seen I like where this is going this is definitely a step in the correct direction this is a step in the direction of improving phones that you've already bought for free basically by just pushing over-the-air update so you can keep getting more and more updates to this stuff directly from Appa so props this is a neat trend I like it keep going with it and hey if there's anything else you guys want to see in terms of added features via software that hasn't been seen on any other phone out there let me know in the comments definitely give some ideas maybe Alpo will be the first one to pick it up and you'll see it on the fly in five first who knows AHA Samsung could be watching as Google could be watching us more - rola HTC who knows and go ahead and leave your ideas below for things that you'd want to see that haven't been added yet either way thanks for watching and I will talk to you guys in the very next video you
