The Oppo Reno 7 series was launched back in China in November 2021, and it came with Oppo’s latest ColorOS 12. However, although Android 12 was available at the time, the series did not launch with Android 12. Instead, the Oppo Reno 7 series came with Android 11 out of the box.
6 months after its release, Oppo has finally announced that from today onwards, the Oppo Reno 7 Pro and Reno 7 SE 5G owners in China will finally be getting the Android 12 official update from the company via its ColorOS 12 x Android 12 rollout programme by the company.
The models eligible for the update are:
- Oppo Reno 7 Pro 5G, Reno 7 Pro 5G League of Legends Lited Edition (Firmware version number C.04 and above)
- Oppo Reno 7 SE 5G (Firmware version number C.03 and above)
To be the first to receive the official update on your Oppo device, you need to follow the steps below:
- Go to Settings > About Phone > Firmware Version Info
- Then tap on the three-dots icon on the top-right corner, and select “Apply for Update”.
- In this menu, select “Apply for Official Update”, then tick the Terms and Conditions, and click Accept.
- Your update will be immediately downloaded and then installed upon successful download.
In the announcement post, Oppo has noted that this official ColorOS 12 x Android 12 update will not clear user data, but the company highly recommends its users to back up important personal data in advance to at least have a data backup when things suddenly go wrong.
Oppo states that it should be noted that there are still many common third-party applications that are not yet compatible with Android 12. Therefore, there may be situations where third-party applications cannot be used normally after the update (such as app crashes, stutters, blank screens, abonormal power consumption, etc.). The brand then states that it recommends its Chinese users to update the app to the latest version in the company’s app store after the update to prevent bugs and crashes on these 3rd party applications.
