OnePlus announced ColorOS 12 based on Android 12 in September. The new version of ColorOS will be available for both OPPO and OnePlus smartphones in China. According to the update timeline, the OnePlus 9R is scheduled to receive ColorOS 12 Beta in January 2022. Ahead of that, the brand has now started recruiting closed beta testers.
Out of the blue, OnePlus has opened registrations for OnePlus 9R ColorOS 12 Closed Beta recruitment in China. According to the official announcement post on OnePlus Community China, applicants will have to submit a questionnaire for selection.
Interestingly, the company has also laid out certain conditions for testers. It says that applicants should be accustomed to using mobile phones for more than 30 hours a week. Also, the brand is looking for testers with prior experience.
Hence, the applicants who meet the above two and the other five conditions will have a high chance of acceptance. Anyway, even if you don’t meet the criteria, it is still worth applying for.
In order to register, users should be running firmware version A.12 on their unit. If an applicant gets selected, they will receive the Android 12-based ColorOS 12 Closed Beta build via OTA. Users are advised to back up their data before installing the beta software.
OnePlus 9R is one of the first OnePlus smartphones other than the OnePlus 9 and the OnePlus 9 Pro to launch with ColorOS 11 out of the box. Hence, ColorOS 12 is the phone’s first-ever major system update.
