A bunch of OPPO devices has been treated to the ColorOS 12 update based on Android 12 in multiple regions. Depending on where you live, all of them are either sold as part of the Reno series or not, so it’s best to get the confusion out of the way before anything else with a neat little list.

ColorOS 12 based on Android 12 is now rolling out to the following devices in their corresponding regions:

• OPPO Reno4 Lite — Kazakhstan
• OPPO A93 — UAE
• OPPO Reno5 Lite — Kazakhstan
• OPPO A94 — UAE
• OPPO Reno4 F — Indonesia
• OPPO F17 Pro — India
• OPPO Reno5 F — Indonesia
• OPPO F19 Pro — India

The Reno4 Lite is the same as the A93, the Reno5 Lite is the same as the A94, the Reno4 F is the same as the F17 Pro, and the Reno5 F is the same as the F19 Pro — with the only difference being name between each of the two variants.

As usual, the OTAs are being sent out on a batch basis, meaning it may take some time for the update to reach your device. If you haven’t yet received a notification, then you can try checking manually by heading over to Settings > Software update. Just make sure you’re on the latest available ColorOS 11 update beforehand, though.

ColorOS 12 arrives with a number of new features and improvements over the previous version. Elements have been given visual tweaks throughout the interface, be it icons, the quick settings panel, or system apps. Some Android 12 goodies are present too, such as the new Privacy Dashboard and microphone and camera Indicators.

Last week, OPPO revealed that it will be launching the OPPO Reno5 series in Kenya. As expected, the handsets are now official in the country. The Chinese smartphone maker has announced two models for the country, namely OPPO Reno5 and OPPO Reno5 F. The former is a known phone, whereas the latter has made its global debut in Kenya, which is interesting.

OPPO Reno5 F Specifications, Features, and Price

The OPPO Reno5 F is the latest model in the Reno5 series of smartphones. The company is known for debuting new models first in Asian countries. But for the first time, OPPO has made a global debut of its device in Africa, Kenya to be exact.

Unfortunately, the brand has not revealed the entire specs of this handset. Because the phone will go on sale a month later on March 22. But interested customers can pre-order it from February 23 to March 21.

Pre-ordering customers will get a couple of freebies like OPPO Enco W11 TWS and a 6-month screen protection plan. Above all, the OPPO Reno5 F is priced at KSh 31,999 ($292).

Talking about specifications, the device flaunts a 6.4-inch AMOLED display with a punch-hole at the top left corner nesting a 32MP selfie camera. There’s no info on the chipset but the smartphone is said to come with 8GB RAM and 128GB internal storage.

The backside of the phone sports a new design with a quad-camera setup, shiny finish, and OPPO branding. This camera array includes a 48 primary sensor, an 8MP ultra-wide unit, a 2MP monochrome sensor for portraits, and a 2MP macro snapper.

Further, the device runs ColorOS 11.1 based on Android 11 and is backed by a  4,310mAh battery with support for 30W VOOC Flash Charge 4.0 proprietary fast charging protocol.

Last but not least, the OPPO Reno5 F comes in two colors, namely Fluid Black and Fantastic Purple.

On the other hand, the OPPO Reno5 is the same device that debuted in the SEA region in late December. It arrives in two colors (Starry Black, Fantasy Silver) and costs KSh 41,999 ($383).

This handset will be also available for pre-order starting tomorrow (February 23) but only till March 1. Because unlike the Reno5 F, the regular Reno5 will go on sale on March 2 itself.

As far as freebies are concerned, customers who pre-order this smartphone offline will be getting a unit of OPPO Enco W11 TWS, OPPO I’m Reno Backpack, and a 6-month screen protection plan. Whereas, online pre-orders include an unnamed Bluetooth speaker instead of the screen protection plan,
