The Oppo K10 5G, which was launched in June 2022 in India, garnered attention for its “premium at a budget” approach. If you are one of the proud owners of this device, there’s good news for you. OPPO has opened up its Beta Testing Program for the upcoming Android 14 x ColorOS 14 update to Indian users of the smartphone. This program aims to gather feedback from up to 5000 participants who are willing to explore the latest features, despite the potential instability in the Open Beta version.
Eligibility and Expectations
To be eligible for the Beta Testing Program, participants must have experience with mobile phones and a good understanding of device system features. It’s important to note that this program involves testing an Alpha version, which means there may be issues such as instability and incompatibility. Beta testers must be willing to invest sufficient time in properly testing the update.
Recruitment Window and Precautions
The recruitment window for the Beta Testing Program is open from December 13 to December 16. Applicants must ensure that their phones are updated to detectable versions C.41/C.40/C.39. To avoid any potential data loss, participants are advised to back up their important personal data before updating their devices.
Temporary Issues and Incompatibility
After the update, the operating system will automatically optimize devices, which may result in temporary issues such as heating, lagging, and fast battery draining. Users are encouraged to turn off the screen and charge their devices overnight or continue using them until the issues normalize within a few days.
It’s important to consider the potential incompatibility of third-party applications with Android 14. These apps may not be available or may experience technical issues such as lagging and crashing. OPPO recommends users to update these applications to their latest versions in the App Market after the update.
How to Apply
Applying for the Beta Testing Program is a simple process outlined by OPPO. The application processing period takes approximately five workdays for review.
- Go to Settings > About device > Tap the top of the page > Tap the icon on the top right > Trial versions > Beta > Fill in your information (This is important, as we’ll send you a satisfaction survey with a message to collect your feedback) > Apply Now.
- Update About device > Download Now (after the application is successful).
