Oppo Releases Android 14-based ColorOS 14 Updates for Compatible Smartphones
Oppo is currently rolling out Android 14-based ColorOS 14 updates for its lineup of compatible smartphones. While many devices have already received the stable Android 14 update, some are still undergoing testing to address any remaining issues. The Oppo Find N3 Flip (review) is the latest device in this phase, having recently received an Android 14 open beta update. This allows interested users to apply and gain access to the update, enabling them to experience Android 14 before the official stable release.

According to the official announcement, Oppo is seeking 5000 participants for the Beta Testing Program for Android 14. To qualify, users should have a keen interest in ColorOS, a good understanding of mobile phone technology, and be open to the potential quirks of Alpha versions. This opportunity is for users willing to invest time in thorough testing to help identify and resolve any issues with the Android 14 update.
