After updating almost all the newly launched premium and budget smartphones, Oppo is now finishing up its ColorOS 13 rollout by releasing updates for older and less expensive devices. The latest phones to receive the Android 13 update are Oppo A55 and A55s. The update is currently being seeded to the units in China, however, it may soon extend to other regions as the brand has already started beta testing.

As per official announcements, the ColorOS 13 update is now available for the Oppo A55 and A55s units in China. The smartphones will start receiving the update in a phased manner and it may take a few days to reach all units. As mentioned, the software is currently available for devices in Mainland China. However, the brand has already initiated beta testing of ColorOS 13 globally last month, indicating that stable updates will soon become available in other regions as well.

While the update should not clear the user data, it is still recommended to create a backup just to be on the safe side. Oppo notes that there are currently many commonly used third-party applications that are not compatible with Android 13. After upgrading to Android 13, third-party applications may not work properly, creating issues such as flashbacks, freezes, black screens, and increased power consumption.

It is worth noting that Oppo’s update speed has been nothing but commendable this year. Considering the brand’s large portfolio of devices, it is impressive how it has managed to roll out the ColorOS 13 update to a majority of them. We can see Oppo catching up with Samsung, which is reputed as the undisputed king of software updates in the industry.
