Oppo launched the Reno 7 5G in India in February. Despite releasing in the second month of 2022, the smartphone debuted with Android 11-based ColorOS 12. Now, three months after its debut, the company has kickstarted the Android 12 beta program as scheduled.
Earlier this month, Oppo revealed that it will start Android 12 beta testing for Oppo Reno 7 5G in India from May 18. However, the firm has opened registrations today itself (May 16).
For the unaware, Oppo is known for starting ColorOS beta initiative for select devices earlier than the planned date. Hence, we are not surprised to learn that the Reno 7 5G users in India can register for the program two days earlier.
In order to enroll, the device should be on firmware version A.14. This is the only requirement. But the brand has allocated only 5,000 seats and the registration window closes on May 23.
In order to register, users need to navigate to Settings > Software Update > Gear Icon > Apply for Beta version > Update Beta Version and follow on-screen instructions. Applicants who get selected will receive the Android 12 beta build via OTA in 3 working days.
As of now, Oppo hasn’t disclosed the date for the stable release. Anyway, going by the company’s history of software rollout, Android 12 stable will likely hit the Oppo Reno 7 5G in India in a month or two.
