OnePlus kicked off the Android 12-based ColorOS 12 beta program for the OnePlus 9R ahead of Christmas. Almost two months, as scheduled, the brand has now started rolling out the stable update for this handset. On the other hand, the international variant, which is sold exclusively in India, only recently entered the OxygenOS 12 Open Beta program.

According to the official announcement post on OnePlus Community China, users need to be at least on firmware version A.15 to receive the ColorOS 12 stable update on their OnePlus 9R.

If they meet the criteria, then they head over to Settings > Software Update > Gear Icon > Upgrade Early Adopters > Application for Official Version. On this page, agree to the privacy policy, click on ‘Apply Now’, followed by ‘Check’ to download and install the Android 12 stable update.

Users need to go through these steps as the update is currently limited to those who want to try it by choice. If these early adopters don’t face any major issues, the release will be made available for everyone in the coming days.

Though the latest system update for the OnePlus 9R is called ‘stable’, OnePlus does mention a bug. The brand says that the lock screen flashes while unlocking with a large number of notifications. The only solution for this right now is to clear notifications.

That said, as mentioned earlier, the international OnePlus 9R just got access to Android 12 beta. Hence, the stable rollout for it will likely take a month or two.

Last week, reported that OPPO had finished the ColorOS 12 stable rollout for January 2022. However, just a few days later, the company has proved us wrong. Because it has now started rolling out the update for two more devices that weren’t supposed to receive it this month. These phones got access to beta builds ahead of Christmas.

OPPO has begun to seed the Android 12-based ColorOS 12 stable update for OPPO Reno5 and OPPO Reno6. The OPPO Reno5 Marvel Edition also gets access to the new software at the same time. It is being pushed with the following firmware versions in Indonesia.

OPPO Reno5, OPPO Reno5 Marvel Edition

• Region: Indonesia
• Firmware Version: C.08
• Required Firmware: A.28, A.29

OPPO Reno6

• Region: Indonesia
• Firmware Version: C.08
• Required Firmware: A.10, A.11

In order to check whether their unit has got the update, users of the aforementioned smartphones can head over to Settings > Software Update.

Since the latest software update for the phone is being sent via OTA, it may take some time to reach every user. For the uninitiated, OTA rollout is usually carried out in a batched manner, so that the company can pull back the update easily without affecting many users in case of any major bug.

Having said that, if you happen to have installed the update on your OPPO handset, then do let us know your experience in the section below. This may help users who haven’t got it.

Users of the phone can head over to Settings > Software Update to check whether their unit has received the OTA update. It should be available for everyone in the coming days.

OxygenOS 12 is the latest and probably the last version of OnePlus’ mobile operating system. That’s because OPPO and OnePlus have promised a unified software for their handsets in international markets from 2022. 

That said, the new version of OxygenOS is based on Android 12 and brings along visual cues from OPPO’s ColorOS. Because the codebases for both the software have already been merged.

According to XDA Developers, the OxygenOS 12 stable update for the OnePlus 9 and the OnePlus 9 Pro is currently live in India. The latest system update should be available for other regional variants, namely EEA and Global in the next few hours or coming days. Whereas, the Chinese models have already received the ColorOS 12 stable update in late November.

In case you own the Indian variant of the OnePlus 9 series, you can head over to Settings > System > System Updates to check whether your unit has received the Android 12 stable update. If not, wait for a while as it is being rolled out in batches like any other OTA software update.
