Oppo has been running the Android 13-based ColorOS 13 alpha and beta programs for multiple smartphones worldwide. So far, all of these phones have been either flagships or upper mid-range models.
Hence, this makes the Oppo F21 Pro the first mid-range smartphone to join the ColorOS 13 open beta initiative. Yes, you heard it. Out of nowhere, Oppo starts recruiting beta testers for the F21 Pro in India.
For the unaware, Oppo did not list the F21 Pro in its September update rollout plan. Therefore, this comes as a surprise.
As per the official announcement post, the company is allocated 5000 seats for the open beta program. The registrations will remain open until September 28.
In order to enroll, users need to be on firmware version A.16 or A.17. Then, they will have to go to Settings > About Device > Tap on ColorOS Logo > Tap Icon on Top Right > Trial Versions and fill in the details.
Selected applicants will receive the ColorOS 13 beta update via OTA. The brand suggests that there could be at least one more batch of recruitment. Therefore, you can try again.
Going by Oppo’s track record, the handset may receive the Android 13 stable update in a month or two from now.
