Oppo Phones Will Get Four Android Updates From Next Year, Do Older Models Count?

Oppo is the latest smartphone to pledge more software upgrades for its devices. Brands have been blamed for not focusing on the software aspect of their phones, which has slowly changed with the likes of Samsung.

OnePlus recently made the news, and Oppo is now offering similar support for its devices, but there’s a screw. As per the details shared by the company, it will offer four years of Android OS upgrades and five years of security updates in 2023.

It is expected that Oppo will keep its word for its flagship phone that will be launched next year. Oppo Find X6 series should be on the list of supported devices with the OnePlus 11 5G launching in the coming weeks. These phones will have an Android 13 version running out of the box, and according to the company’s word, they should get up to Android 17 which will be quite impressive.

Android phone makers have lagged behind Apple with regards to their software support cycles. While you see 5 year old iPhone models getting iOS 16 version in 2022, the same cannot be said about three or four year old Android models.

So it is good to see brands like Samsung, Oppo and OnePlus bucking the trend, which will appeal to the customers when they decide to buy a phone in the near future. Google stands out from most on the list, as Pixel phones still only promise three years of OS upgrades and four years of security patches.

Oppo has also changed its strategy with the rollout of ColorOS 13 version and said that it will soon introduce faster updates for its existing models.

The latest ColorOS version focuses on providing a fluid and lightweight interface that responds to the needs of the users. It would not be wrong to say that Oppo has used the resources of the OnePlus software team to further improve the software.
