After announcing the ColorOS 11 April update plan, OPPO has started recruiting beta testers for the listed phones. The latest devices to join the program as per the schedule are OPPO A5 2020 and OPPO A9 2020 respectively.
A few hours ago, we reported that OPPO had opened ColorOS 11 Beta registrations for the OPPO Reno Z and the OPPO A73 5G ahead of schedule. But that’s not the case with OPPO A5 2020 and OPPO A9 2020. The registrations for these two smartphones have begun right on time.
According to the official announcement posts on ColorOS Community, users should be on firmware version C.74/C.75 to enroll in the program. Also, the initiative is limited to India and Indonesia only.
In order to register, interested users need to navigate to Settings > Software Update > Gear Icon > Apply for Beta Version > Update Beta Version and follow on-screen instructions. The ColorOS 11 Beta registrations for these handsets will remain open till April 21 for the first batch.
Both the OPPO A5 2020 and the OPPO A9 2020 launched with ColorOS 6.1 based on Android 9.0 Pie. The devices were updated to Android 10-based ColorOS 7.x last year.
Hence, ColorOS 11 (Android 11) should be the last major system update for these smartphones, as per OPPO’s update track record.
