OnePlus kicked off the Android 12-based ColorOS 12 beta program for the OnePlus 9R ahead of Christmas. Almost two months, as scheduled, the brand has now started rolling out the stable update for this handset. On the other hand, the international variant, which is sold exclusively in India, only recently entered the OxygenOS 12 Open Beta program.
According to the official announcement post on OnePlus Community China, users need to be at least on firmware version A.15 to receive the ColorOS 12 stable update on their OnePlus 9R.
If they meet the criteria, then they head over to Settings > Software Update > Gear Icon > Upgrade Early Adopters > Application for Official Version. On this page, agree to the privacy policy, click on ‘Apply Now’, followed by ‘Check’ to download and install the Android 12 stable update.
Users need to go through these steps as the update is currently limited to those who want to try it by choice. If these early adopters don’t face any major issues, the release will be made available for everyone in the coming days.
Though the latest system update for the OnePlus 9R is called ‘stable’, OnePlus does mention a bug. The brand says that the lock screen flashes while unlocking with a large number of notifications. The only solution for this right now is to clear notifications.
That said, as mentioned earlier, the international OnePlus 9R just got access to Android 12 beta. Hence, the stable rollout for it will likely take a month or two.
