ODialer is a free communications application and is the official dialer app included in the third-party Android skin, ColorOS that runs a variety of Oppo-branded smartphones and tablets. It carries the company's take on visual design and a set of features exclusive to the operation system and devices.

Dial with color

ODialer is the native dialer app that ships with ColorOS, the Android skin that runs Oppo devices. It boasts a design aesthetic that is in line with the company's overlay. It shows a categorized history that provides you with detailed information on names, numbers, and call times.

Cross compatible

As the sister brand of Oppo, the ODialer app can also serve as an alternative to the stock dialer on OnePlus devices. It shares many similarities with its OxygenOS counterpart from a UI design standpoint, so you won’t take long to get accustomed to using it. Compared to the Phone app by Google, it boasts a more colorful aesthetic that blends well with the whole operating system.

One of its other highlight features is the built-in call recorder that works on both ColorOS and OxygenOS. This will come in handy for users residing in regions where Google’s own voice recording feature is not supported. A new feature added in version 16 of both is a new AI Transcription function. You can now have phone calls automatically transcribed into text, eliminating the need to manually take down notes.

All that said, the ODialer app is not exempt from bugs and issues. While the call recording is great, it’s still not as widely available to more regions. Also, despite being one of its main features, there’s a lack of management options for recordings, which is rather puzzling. Lastly, other users report experiencing random call disconnections and app crashes, but hopefully, these issues will be addressed promptly.

Nice and simple

If you use an Oppo device, then you already have and use its ODialer app for your daily calling and communication needs, so keep it updated to get the latest features. If not, install it now to get the unified look and experience that the company's ColorOS provides.
