  • An OPPO executive recently claimed that Android 16’s new 90:10 multitasking system was a “small contribution from OPPO” to Google.

Android 16 includes a great split-screen multitasking system, allowing one app to take over 90% of the screen space while the second app occupies the remaining 10%. This is extremely similar to OPPO’s Boundless View and OnePlus’s OpenCanvas multitasking systems. But did OPPO actually donate this feature to Google for Android 16?

OPPO executive Zhu Haizhou claimed on Weibo earlier this week that Android 16’s 90:10 split screen feature was a “small contribution from OPPO” to Google. Check out the machine-translated screenshot below.
