I am looking at new phones and currently use Android. I notice that the OPPO phones have ColorOS based on Android.


How close to Android is this? Can I run any Android app on it? Is it any good? Should I stick with Samsung Android phones?

Your current may not be as simple 'android' as you think either. Most bigger makers have an overlay or their own mods to make things pretty and have fancy features. Diff camera apps etc to try get a user sales advantage

 

Samsung - Experience/One

 

Huawei EMUI / HarmonyOS

 

Oppo -  ColorOS

 

Motorola - (reasonably pure Android as far as I know)

 

OnePlus - OxygenOS

 

Then there is Nokia, who have the oneOS agreement with google

 

And whoever made Googles flagship at the time was fairly raw OS. So you could get LG/Motorola/HTC/Samsung often similar spec'd
