For a long time, software updates were considered a weak point of Chinese and other phone makers. This changed in 2022 for Oppo as well as Samsung and other major companies. The BBK-owned Chinese brand already has updated a number of smartphones in China and other markets only a few months after Color OS 13’s debut.
As we prepare to enter 2023 the brand has revealed the Color OS 13 update schedule for the first quarter. Here are the details.
Oppo will release stable and beta versions of Android 13-based ColorOS 13 to a large number of smartphones in Q1 2023. The Oppo Reno 7 5G and Oppo K9s will be the first to receive the beta update. The update is only for the Chinese region, but the global rollout timeline should be revealed soon.
