Remember when the smartphone industry was suddenly obsessed with how much the rear cameras could zoom in? We saw flagship devices from Xiaomi and Samsung with crazy camera setups capable of zooming in a hundred times, and boy did the duo brag about it. OPPO had done its own bit during the time, hopping onto the bandwagon with a phone dedicated to making stuff appear bigger — and such was the dedication that it even had ‘Zoom’ in its name.

We are talking about the OPPO Reno 10x Zoom that did exactly what its name implied — zoom in ten times — 5x optical followed by 10x hybrid. And if that wasn’t enough, the device even had a rather unconventional, tipsy slide-out mechanism for the selfie camera, all in all, making it a pretty unique offering.

Point is, it would have sucked if OPPO would’ve abandoned such a memorable phone since it’s now almost a couple of years old. There indeed are not-to-be-named Android OEMs guilty of doing so, but that’s not the case with our OPPO.

Not only has it made it the Reno 10x Zoom eligible to an impressive 4 years of security updates but also seems exceptionally quick in rolling them out.

The OPPO Reno 10x Zoom has just received the January 2022 security update in December itself, making it one of the first phones, if not the very first, to get it (via BongGeek). The update changelog doesn’t say much other than notifying about the security patch version, but needless to say, it’s all quite impressive.

The update comes at a time when OPPO is already rolling out ColorOS 12 based on Android 12 for its devices — something that the OPPO Reno 10x Zoom is thankfully eligible for. According to the official ColorOS 12 beta timeline, the phone is scheduled to get it in the first half of 2022.

OPPO has undoubtedly been killing it when it comes to updates and we hope to see more of the good stuff in the future.
