Google is expected to release Android 14 stable this month. Thus, partner OEMs have kickstarted their beta programs.
Oppo is one of the first Chinese OEMs other than Xiaomi to announce the Android 14 public beta testing initiative. The company has included 3 devices in the first batch.
Two of these phones are Oppo-branded, while the third one is OnePlus-branded. Let’s go through the details.
According to official announcement posts on Oppo and OnePlus community forums, the brands started recruiting Android 14 closed beta testers for three handsets in China yesterday. The registration window closes today itself.
Applicants will be selected within 5 working days from the end of recruitment. Selected candidates will receive the beta software via OTA update within the next 3 working days.
The following devices are currently part of the Android 14-based ColorOS beta program.
Interestingly, the vanilla Oppo Find X6 is not included in the first batch. Similarly, instead of the latest Reno 10 Pro Plus, the Reno 9 Pro is given higher priority.
Though the aforementioned smartphones will be added to the beta program later, it is just weird to not see them in the first batch. Also, Oppo hasn’t officially revealed anything about ColorOS 14 yet.
Since the Android 14 public beta program is now underway, Oppo may start teasing ColorOS 14 features in the coming days. Perhaps, the software could get announced at the Oppo Find N3 launch event later this month.
