Ahead of the ColorOS 12 announcement in mid-September, OPPO kickstarted an early access program for its flagship smartphones, namely OPPO Find X3, OPPO Find X3 Pro, OnePlus 9, and OnePlus 9 Pro. A few weeks later, these phones got access to public beta builds in early October. Now, a little over a month later, the company is recruiting even more testers before the stable release.

According to the ColorOS Assistant Weibo account, OPPO has once again opened ColorOS 12 public beta registrations for its premium smartphones in China yesterday. The registrations will close at 12 PM today (November 12).

In order to enroll, users should be on the following firmware versions.

• OPPO Find X3 Pro Mars Explorer Edition – A.28
• OPPO Find X3 Pro – A.28
• OPPO Find X3 – A.30
• OnePlus 9 Pro – A.12
• OnePlus 9 – A.12

To register, interested users have to navigate to Settings > Software update > Gear icon > Upgrade Early Access > Upgrade Public Beta. Selected applicants will receive the beta software build via OTA within 3 days.

As per the schedule shared by the company a few days back, these handsets will get access to the stable update on November 25. Hence, users need not wait longer to experience new ColorOS features and Android 12.

Anyway, like any other software update, this one will be also rolled out in batches. Therefore, the rollout will most likely continue till at least mid-December.

According to the official Weibo account of ColorOS, the registrations for the first batch of ColorOS 12 Public Beta update for the OPPO Find X3 series and the OnePlus 9 series went live in China yesterday at 11 AM (local time).

The company recruited testers for the following devices.

Applicants who get selected are said to receive the beta build via OTA in the coming days. Although the Weibo post does not mention anything, there should be more batches of recruitment in the coming days.

The above-listed phones should receive ColorOS 12 (Android 12) stable build very soon if the public testers don’t find major issues. That said, the next batch of smartphones to enter the public testing phase in November includes the OPPO Find X2 series and the OPPO Reno6 series.
