OPPO Reno15 FS: Top Tricks for Smart Sidebar, Multitasking, and Customization

Smart Sidebar and Multitasking

• 💡 The Smart Sidebar allows quick access to selected applications.
• 🚀 Applications from the sidebar can be opened in a pop-up view, which can be resized or moved.
• 🧩 Holding an app icon from the sidebar can initiate split-screen multitasking, allowing two apps to run simultaneously, with a third potentially in pop-up view.
• ⚠️ There is no feature to save custom multitasking layouts for one-click recall.

Notification and Quick Settings Customization

• 📌 By default, swiping from the right shows toggles, and from the left shows notifications, but this can be changed.
• ✅ Selecting 'Classic' mode in customize quick settings combines notifications and toggles into a single swipe-down panel from any screen location.
• 🔍 The 'swipe down on home screen' gesture can be configured for Global Search, OPPO Shelf, or Notifications & Quick Settings.

Display and Theme Customization

• ✨ The device offers a selection of themes with a neat feature where the system can detect foreground and background elements of a wallpaper to creatively integrate the clock.
• ⏰ Always On Display can be enabled, with options for notification wake-up, though the ability to have it permanently on is noted as missing on this model compared to others.
• 🎨 Dark mode offers different levels of darkness (Enhanced, Medium, Gentle), impacting battery consumption due to AMOLED display technology where black pixels are off.
• 🌈 Adaptive Tone automatically adjusts display tint based on ambient lighting, and when enabled, it disables manual color temperature adjustments but allows control over saturation (Standard/Natural).

Status Bar and Battery Icon Styles

• ⚙️ The status bar allows toggling off certain icons like Bluetooth or NFC, though options for Wi-Fi and cellular connection visibility have been reduced.
• 🔢 Notifications in the status bar can be displayed as a number count or hidden entirely.
• 🔋 The battery icon style can be customized to horizontal (default), vertical, loop, or hidden, with percentage display varying based on the chosen style.
