The Android landscape has changed significantly in the past few years. Huawei is no longer in the Top Five, and the likes of Xiaomi and OPPO have risen through the ranks more than ever before.
Software updates have also become an important bullet point for manufacturers who are now racing to prove they’re part of that growing trend. In light of that, OPPO is one of the first (after Samsung) to announce that the global version of its upcoming ColorOS 12 is rolling out in Mzansi as of today and is making a stronger public commitment to supporting its myriad phones.
In the past, brands that fall under the “Chinese” category were widely considered to be bad apples when it came to Android software and updates. They offered heavily modified experiences, often criticized for copying Apple, which resulted in slow or even non-existent security fixes and major upgrades. That, however, feels like a distant past now, and companies like OPPO have worked hard to change that perception and deliver a cleaner Android experience with timely updates.
The company has, in fact, been working on ColorOS 12 based on Android 12 for a few months now. Its announcement today brings the final version to Mzansi. In particular, it is rolling out the update to its OPPO Reno 5 and A74 models, for starters.
OPPO hasn’t gone into detail about how the global version of ColorOS 12 will differ from the Chinese version it revealed last year. There is, of course, a focus on personalisation and customisation, along with exclusive features like FlexDrop.
