OPPO launched the OPPO F17 in India in September. This very same phone made its debut as OPPO A73 in some markets. The smartphone released with ColorOS 7.2 based on Android 10. Eight months after its initial launch, interested OPPO F17 / A73 users can finally taste ColorOS 11 (Android 11) on their handset.
The OPPO F17 Pro was one of the first smartphones to get the Android 11-based ColorOS 11 update. However, OPPO has opened beta registrations for its affordable sibling OPPO F17 aka OPPO A73 only now.
According to the official announcement posts on ColorOS Community, the beta update is currently only available in India, Thailand, and Malaysia. In order to enroll in the beta program, users need to be on firmware version A.37 or A.39.
If the phones of the interested users are running either of the two above-mentioned firmware versions, they can head over to Settings > Sofware Update > Gear Icon > Apply for Beta Version > Update Beta Version and follow the on-screen instructions to finish the registration.
The registrations are said to run until May 31 for OPPO F17. However, the last date for OPPO A73 is May 28.
Users who get selected will receive ColorOS 11 (Android 11) beta build as an OTA update. If their application gets rejected, they can try their luck for the next batch. Anyway, all users should get the stable update in the coming weeks.
