In late January, OPPO kicked off the Android 11-based ColorOS 11 beta program for the OPPO Reno2 F in India. Now, almost two months later, this handset has started receiving the stable update in the country.

According to OPPO’s ColorOS 11 update plan for the month of March, the OPPO Reno2 F was expected to get the stable update from March 16 in India. However, the company has started rolling out the update a few days ahead of schedule.

As per the announcement post on ColorOS Community, the OPPO Reno2 F Android 11 stable update is currently available for users in India who are on build number C.19. Interested users will have to manually apply to download the OTA update with firmware version F.11.

To do so, they will have to head over to Settings > Software Updates > Gear Icon > Official Version Application and tap on ‘Apply Now’ after marking the ‘I Agree’ checkbox. Once done, users can download and install the update to enjoy all the new ColorOS 11 features that are available for their device.

That said, just like the OPPO Reno 10x Zoom, ColorOS 11 (Android 11) could be the last major software update for the OPPO Reno2 F. Because OPPO is not known for providing three generations of Android updates like Samsung.

The OPPO Reno2 F is a mid-range smartphone launched in the second half of 2019. The handset debuted with ColorOS 6.1 based on Android Pie. It was later updated to Android 10-based ColorOS 7. Now, the company has started recruiting beta testers for ColorOS 11 (Android 11) update in India.

OPPO announced ColorOS 11 in mid-September after Android 11 stable was released for the Google Pixels. Since then, the firm has been rolling out beta and stable builds to its smartphones worldwide.

Earlier this month, the Chinese handset maker shared the ColorOS 11 update rollout plan for the month of January 2021. According to it, the OPPO Reno2 F is supposed to get the beta build on January 26 in India. Hence, the brand has been recruiting beta esters for this phone since Saturday (January 23). 

That said, to enroll in the program, your device should be on software build number C.17. If it is, then simply navigate to Settings > Software Update > Gear icon > Apply for Beta Version > Update Beta Version and follow the on-screen instructions. If you get selected, the company will be seeding the ColorOS 11 beta build via OTA within a week.

Having said that, we are not sure when the stable update will be released. But it should be rolled out by next month at the earliest. Also, OPPO is yet to reveal the availability of this update in other regions.
