A bunch of OPPO devices has been treated to the ColorOS 12 update based on Android 12 in multiple regions. Depending on where you live, all of them are either sold as part of the Reno series or not, so it’s best to get the confusion out of the way before anything else with a neat little list.

ColorOS 12 based on Android 12 is now rolling out to the following devices in their corresponding regions:

• OPPO Reno4 Lite — Kazakhstan
• OPPO A93 — UAE
• OPPO Reno5 Lite — Kazakhstan
• OPPO A94 — UAE
• OPPO Reno4 F — Indonesia
• OPPO F17 Pro — India
• OPPO Reno5 F — Indonesia
• OPPO F19 Pro — India

The Reno4 Lite is the same as the A93, the Reno5 Lite is the same as the A94, the Reno4 F is the same as the F17 Pro, and the Reno5 F is the same as the F19 Pro — with the only difference being name between each of the two variants.

As usual, the OTAs are being sent out on a batch basis, meaning it may take some time for the update to reach your device. If you haven’t yet received a notification, then you can try checking manually by heading over to Settings > Software update. Just make sure you’re on the latest available ColorOS 11 update beforehand, though.

ColorOS 12 arrives with a number of new features and improvements over the previous version. Elements have been given visual tweaks throughout the interface, be it icons, the quick settings panel, or system apps. Some Android 12 goodies are present too, such as the new Privacy Dashboard and microphone and camera Indicators.

OPPO has been rolling out the Android 11-based ColorOS 11 update to its smartphones ever since the company announced it back in September 2020. A number of devices are already running the stable build, whereas some are rocking the beta build. Joining this list is the mid-range OPPO A93.

For those unaware, OPPO A93 is a rebranded OPPO F17 Pro for some SEA counties. The F17 Pro had already received the ColorOS 11 update in November 2020. However, the A93 has started getting it only now.

According to PiunikaWeb, the company kicked off a beta program for this handset in January. A month later, the firm is now seeding the stable release. In case you own this device, then head over to Settings > Software update to check if your unit has got the OTA update yet.

Like any other system update, the OPPO A93 Android 11 update is probably rolling out in a staged manner. Therefore, the update may take some time to arrive on your phone.

That said, as per the ColorOS 11 update timeline for February 2021, OPPO will be releasing the first beta build for OPPO A91 on February 27 in Indonesia. On the other hand, the OPPO Reno3 Pro 5G will get a stable build in Russia and Kazakhstan on February 27.

That’s not all, the following smartphones are/ will be receiving a stable release in the European regions this month.

• OPPO Reno4 5G (Portugal, Italy)
• OPPO Find X2 Neo (Netherlands, France, Spain)
• OPPO Reno3 Pro (Ukraine)
• OPPO Reno4 Pro (Ukraine)

Netflix is arguably one of the best streaming platforms available worldwide. The service can be accessed on a wide variety of devices with a display. But the OEMs require a license to support the app on their devices. Hence, not all Android smartphones can stream in HD or HDR quality. 

Above all, not all companies disclose whether their phones support Netlfix. Customers can only know about it by installing the application themselves. But thankfully, Netflix has a dedicated page on its website with a list of supported devices. This list has been now updated with the brand-new Samsung Galaxy S21 series, a bunch of OPPO smartphones, and a TCL handset.

According to the update list, Netlfix can be now streamed in HD and HDR on the following phones.

• Netflix HD

  • OPPO A73
  • OPPO A93
  • OPPO F17
  • OPPO F17 Pro
  • OPPO Reno4
  • OPPO Reno4 F
  • OPPO Reno4 Lite
  • OPPO Reno4 5G
  • OPPO Reno4 Pro 5G

• Netflix HDR

• • Samsung Galaxy S21 5G
  • Samsung Galaxy S21+ 5G
  • Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G
  • OPPO Reno4 Pro
  • TCL 20 5G

It is interesting to know that only the 4G variant of OPPO Reno4 Pro supports Netflix HDR although the 4G variant has the exact same display. Also, all the OPPO handsets listed above are on sale for months but they have received Netlfix certification only now.

On the other hand, the TCL 20 5G launched only last month and the Galaxy S21 series just hit the shelves today.
