After releasing beta builds of ColorOS 12 last month, Oppo has now started rolling out the stable release based on Android 12 to the Oppo F17 and Oppo A73 in India and Vietnam. But apparently, the company requires users to submit an application if they want to receive the stable ColorOS12 update during the initial rollout.

Oppo announced through a community post that the ColorOS 12 official update is coming now to the Oppo F17 in India, and Oppo A73 in Vietnam. The post says that the update is still in the initial stage and will be released on a batch-by-batch basis.

If you have an eligible device, you can get ColorOS 12 update by going to the Software Updates section in the Settings. In the Software Updates section, tap on the settings kebab menu in the top right corner and you will see an option to register for the update. Once you submit the application, you will receive ColorOS 12 via an OTA update.

Please note that if the application quota is full, you will have to wait for the next round of rollout. Read these “must-knows” before you proceed to apply for the update:

1. Please backup important data on the phone before updating to avoid data loss caused by incompatibility or other unforeseen circumstances.
2. After updating to the latest version, the operating system will do several actions to optimize your device automatically. It might lead to your device heating, lagging, and fast battery draining. We recommend you turn off the screen and charge your device for a whole night after its updated success. Or keep using the device and it will become normal within a few days.
3. Some third-party applications are not compatible with Android 12. Therefore, updating these applications might not be available or have technical issues including lagging and crashing down on your device.

Eight months after its initial launch, interested OPPO F17 / A73 users can finally taste ColorOS 11 (Android 11) on their handset.

The OPPO F17 Pro was one of the first smartphones to get the Android 11-based ColorOS 11 update. However, OPPO has opened beta registrations for its affordable sibling OPPO F17 aka OPPO A73 only now.

According to the official announcement posts on ColorOS Community, the beta update is currently only available in India, Thailand, and Malaysia. In order to enroll in the beta program, users need to be on firmware version A.37 or A.39.

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.

The lower mid-range segment is actually one of the most interesting ones for those who want to get an excellent smartphone for daily use at a very affordable price. And since Xiaomi launched the POCO M3, the lower-midrange segment is even more interesting. As we always do, we found the best competitors of the POCO M3 in order to give you a specs comparison which could let you choose the best handset for your needs. And we believe the best rivals of the POCO M3 for most of the users are the OPPO F17 and the Realme 7i. Note that OPPO F17 is known as the OPPO A73 in select markets. Here is a comparison between their specifications.

Xiaomi POCO M3 vs OPPO F17 vs Realme 7i

Design

Each of these devices comes with a cheap design consisting of a polycarbonate body instead of the glass back and aluminum frames you can get on premium phones. The winner of the design comparison is the OPPO F17 not exactly for its look, but for its dimensions. It is very thin, very lightweight, and compact. It is one of the thinnest devices out there and it is easier to use with one hand and to keep in a pocket. That is why I prefer it when it comes to aesthetics. Unlike its rivals, it has an in-display fingerprint reader making its design cleaner.

Display

Besides the best design, with the OPPO F17, you also get the best display. In case you do not know, the OPPO F17 alias A73 is one of the most affordable smartphones equipped with an AMOLED display. It shows brilliant colors, deep blacks, it supports the Always On mode and it has an in-display fingerprint scanner. If you just do not like the OPPO F17, you could go for the Realme 7i as it features a 90 Hz refresh rate, but you would get a lower HD+ resolution. The POCO M3 lacks a high refresh rate and it has an IPS display just like the Realme 7i, but its resolution is Full HD+.

Hardware/Software

The most powerful hardware departments belong to the OPPO F17 and Realme 7i offering the same components. All the phones are fueled by the Snapdragon 662 mobile platform, but the POCO M3 has just 4 GB of RAM. With the most expensive configurations of the Realme 7i and the OPPO F17, you get 8 GB of RAM. These phones run Android 10 out of the box and all of them will be updated to Android 11 as they hitten the shelves in the second half of 2020.

Camera

The camera is the strongest point of the Realme 7i. The handset packs a quad camera including a 64 MP main sensor like more expensive mid-rangers, an 8 MP ultrawide camera, and a pair of 2 MP sensors for macro and depth. The second place goes to the POCO M3 packing a 48 MP triple camera, but it has an inferior front camera to OPPO F17 and Realme 7i. The main sensor of OPPO F17 is not that good, but you get the best front camera.

Battery

The best battery phone of this trio is the POCO M3 because it packs a huge 6000 mAh battery. It is able to last up to three days with moderate usage. Right after, we got the Realme 7i with a 5000 mAh battery. Unfortunately, the battery of the OPPO F17 has a capacity of just 4015 mAh, but it is still a good battery phone due to its efficient components. Further, OPPO F17 supports the faster 30W charging technology.

Price

The price of the POCO M3 starts from less than €124/$150 (still not released in India), while Realme 7i begins at 150€/$182. You need about €190/$230 for the OPPO F17. I cannot pick a definitive winner of this comparison. OPPO F17 is the most interesting due to its thinner and lighter design, AMOLED display, faster charging, but not necessarily the best. POCO M3 has a way longer battery life, while Realme 7i has a way better camera and 90 Hz, but the display is HD+.

Now, the higher 8GB + 128GB variant’s price has been once again slashed by ₹500. Hence, it can be now bought for ₹18,490.

OPPO Reno3 Pro Price Cut India

OPPO Reno3 Pro Launched in early March in India. It was priced at ₹29,999 and ₹32,999 for 8GB + 128GB and 8GB + 256GB storage variants respectively. The handset’s price was soon hiked in April due to the new GST on mobile phones. And then, over the course of eight months, it received multiple price cuts bringing down the price to ₹25,990 and ₹29,990 respectively.

Now, in late November, OPPO has slashed the price once again by ₹1,000 and ₹2,000 for the two storage configurations.Thus, the device now retails for ₹24,990 (8GB + 128GB) and ₹27,999 (8GB + 256GB) respectively.
