OPPO has been updating its devices to ColorOS 11 based on Android 11 since September 2020. As per the update plan for July 2021, only a single device in India will get the beta update this month. That device is OPPO K3 and beta registrations for it are already live for the past few days and should have probably ended by the time you will be reading this.
According to the ColorOS 11 update plan for the month of July 2021, OPPO was supposed to open beta registrations for the OPPO K3 in India from July 28 (yesterday). However, that did not happen.
As per an official announcement post on ColorOS Community, the company opened registrations days earlier on July 22. Hence, the registrations are scheduled to end by July 29 (today). Thankfully, there will be more batches for interested users.
In order to participate, users need to be on the firmware version C.16. To enroll, they will have to head over to Settings > Software Update > Gear Icon > Apply for Beta Version > Update Beta Version and follow the on-screen instructions. The beta build will be rolled out to applicants via OTA if they get selected.
The OPPO K3 debuted with ColorOS 6.x based on Android 9.0 Pie. The smartphone was updated to Android 10-based ColorOS 7.x last year. Going by OPPO’s update track record, ColorOS 11 (Android 11) should be its second and last major update.
