Last month, Google officially debuted Android 13 and later released stable builds on its Pixel devices. Now, Oppo has started rolling out the Android 13-based ColorOS 13 stable build for its flagship Find X5 and Find X5 Pro, becoming the first brand other than Google to do so.

Select regions are starting to receive the official version. Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia, Malaysia, France, and Australia’s Oppo Find X5 Pro phones will begin receiving notifications for an upcoming software update. Oppo Find X users in France and the United Arab Emirates will also soon receive the update notification.

To receive the update, your Find X5 Pro needs to be on the A.22 software version. As for the vanilla Find X5, it needs to be on A.18/A.19 to proceed with the update.

ColorOS 13 isn’t a major leap from ColorOS 12, but rather a more polished version of it. The new operating system features a new design language called “Anamorphic”, better Material You integration, new animations, improved AOD, and a media playback widget for Spotify.

Selected applicants were also treated with the Android 13-based beta software in the next few days. Now, two weeks later, the company recruiting more testers for the aforementioned smartphones.

According to the official announcement posts on Oppo Community and OnePlus Community, the new recruitment for these devices is for ‘nolog’ version. This version of beta builds will have the log grab switch turned off by default.

Either way, both versions of the ColorOS 13 Closed Beta builds are said to have multiple bugs. The company even warns that certain banking applications are incompatible as of now. It also talks about the possibility of issues with other third-party apps.

Interested users in China can enroll themselves in the program from July 18 till 12 PM CST on July 20. Oppo has only allocated 1,500 seats for each of these three handsets.

At the moment, it is not known when the global wing of Oppo/Oneplus will announce the Android 13-based ColorOS 13/OxygenOS 13 Closed Beta program for Oppo Find X5, Oppo Find X5 Pro, and OnePlus 10 Pro.
