After releasing beta builds of ColorOS 12 last month, Oppo has now started rolling out the stable release based on Android 12 to the Oppo F17 and Oppo A73 in India and Vietnam. But apparently, the company requires users to submit an application if they want to receive the stable ColorOS12 update during the initial rollout.

Oppo announced through a community post that the ColorOS 12 official update is coming now to the Oppo F17 in India, and Oppo A73 in Vietnam. The post says that the update is still in the initial stage and will be released on a batch-by-batch basis.

If you have an eligible device, you can get ColorOS 12 update by going to the Software Updates section in the Settings. In the Software Updates section, tap on the settings kebab menu in the top right corner and you will see an option to register for the update. Once you submit the application, you will receive ColorOS 12 via an OTA update.

Please note that if the application quota is full, you will have to wait for the next round of rollout. Read these “must-knows” before you proceed to apply for the update:

  1. Please backup important data on the phone before updating to avoid data loss caused by incompatibility or other unforeseen circumstances.
  2. After updating to the latest version, the operating system will do several actions to optimize your device automatically. It might lead to your device heating, lagging, and fast battery draining. We recommend you turn off the screen and charge your device for a whole night after its updated success. Or keep using the device and it will become normal within a few days.
  3. Some third-party applications are not compatible with Android 12. Therefore, updating these applications might not be available or have technical issues including lagging and crashing down on your device.
