Oppo is now rolling out the Android 13-based ColorOS 13 update for much older and less expensive smartphones worldwide. The Oppo A55 5G and Oppo A55s 5G are the latest such devices to get access to the new software.
Currently, the update is available in the beta form for these handsets. Also, it is limited to China.
Users of Oppo A55 5G and A55s 5G in China can head over to Settings to enroll themselves for the ColorOS 13 beta program. Selected applicants will receive the beta build via OTA.
Usually, Oppo takes about a month or more to deliver the stable build. Therefore, the final release for the general public should happen around April.
Both these phones were released with ColorOS 11 based on Android 11 though the s variant debuted more than a year after the regular model. Thus, ColorOS 13 is their second major software update as they got the Android 12-based ColorOS 12 update last year.
Since A55 and A55s are inexpensive smartphones, they will not receive any major software updates. However, they may continue receiving necessary security updates and bug fixes for a while.
The key spec highlights of these devices include a 6.5-inch HD+ display, a MediaTek Dimensity 700 chipset, a 13MP rear camera, an 8MP front-facing camera, a side-mounted fingerprint sensor, a 5,000mAh battery, and 10W charging support.
