At the end of May, Oppo released ColorOS 7 stable update timeline for India. In that, the company mentioned it will be rolling out the update to F9 and F9 Pro on June 10. As promised, these two devices have now started receiving the update as ‘Trial Version’ build.

Oppo announced ColorOS 7 based on Android 10 back in November 2019. But the company is yet to roll out the update to all the eligible devices. Between this, the brand has also released ColorOS 7.1 and ColorOS 7.2, which are currently limited to certain launch devices.

Having said that, the ColorOS 7 update for Oppo F9 and F9 Pro comes with build number CPH1823EX_11.F.09_2090_202006051759. It can be downloaded by navigating to Settings > Software Updates > Gear Icon > Trial Version.

The update is only available for units running CPH1823EX_11_C.19_1190_202003281428 and CPH1823EX_11_C.20_1120_202005081852 builds. So make sure to update to these builds if your device is running an older build than these.

Also, though it is called ‘Trial Version’, it is basically stable build just like Xiaomi’s MIUI Stable Beta but available for all, instead of beta authorized Mi accounts. If the early birds find the build to be without major bugs, the same will be rolled out to all users via OTA.

The next in line to receive ColorOS 7 stable update in India are Oppo A5/A9 2020 on June 15, Oppo F7/F7 128GB on June 24, and Oppo R15/R15 Pro in July.
