OPPO has been rolling out ColorOS 12 beta builds to eligible devices since September. The latest phones to receive the update are the OPPO Find X2 series handsets in India and Indonesia. Let’s take a look at how interested users can try out OPPO’s version of Android 12 on these smartphones before most people.

According to an official announcement post on OPPO Community, the Chinese smartphone maker is recruiting ColorOS 12 beta testers for the following devices in India and Indonesia.

• OPPO Find X2 Pro Automobili Lamborghini Edition

• OPPO Find X2

In order to enroll in the beta program, users should be on firmware version C.73. If so, they can head over to Settings > Software Update > Gear Icon > Apply for Beta Version > Update Beta Version and follow the on-screen instructions.

Registrations will remain open from November 15 to November 22. However, only 5000 applicants will be selected for the first batch in total for the three phones.

Hence, if you own any of these handsets and want to try Android 12-based ColorOS 12, then make sure to register as soon as possible. As far as stable release is concerned, it should happen in the coming weeks once the issues are resolved.

The OPPO Find X2 series debuted with ColorOS 7.1 based on Android 10. The three models were updated to Android 11-based ColorOS 11 last year. Therefore, ColorOS 12 is their second major Android update and will receive one more Android update in the future.

The Oppo Find X2 series consists of three primary devices namely Find X2, Find X2 Pro, and Find X2 Pro Automobili Lamborghini Edition. Then, there’s Find X2 Neo and Find X2 Lite, which is basically a rebadged  Reno3 Vitality Edition and Reno3 Youth Edition for international markets. Now, a set of design patents have emerged, which reveal a Find X2 series device with an in-screen (under display) camera.

Last year, Oppo showcased a prototype smartphone with a front camera underneath the display. Then, at the of 2019, the company had applied design patent for this particular smartphone pictured above at the CNIPA (China National Intellectual Property Office).

The documents for the same was released on July 7, which was unearthed by none other than LetsGoDigital, a publication well-known for patent-related findings.

Looking at the images, we can see that there are five different colors with subtle design differences. One of them has a unique LED flash module placement and even an Italian flag. Whereas, three models have Lamborghini’s signature taillights, which might act as a notification light. But all of them have artificial leather backs.

We can clearly say that this is another Lamborghini Edition Oppo smartphone but with different design and more importantly in-screen camera. It is worth noting that 65W SuperVOOC was introduced in the Find X Automobili Lamborghini Edition. Hence, it makes sense for the company to debut new tech on a limited edition and keep it premium for a particular period of time.

Anyway, as these are merely design patents, we cannot say for sure if it will ever make it to end consumers. But we do expect smartphones with an under-display camera soon as Visionox’s tech is ready for mass production.
