ColorOS 12 is almost here with us.
The new software from Oppo, based on Android 12, is expected to begin rolling out to devices from later this month, when Android 12 is finally official.
Oppo expects to update over 100 device models to ColorOS 12, its Android overlay, and reach over 150 million worldwide.
The Oppo Find X3 Pro, which has been part of the Android 12 beta program, and is the first device to get the ColorOS 12 beta, is expected to lead the way.

From the above list, the only device we can confirm 100% is available, at least on an official basis, in the Kenyan market and whose users are assured of getting the ColorOS 12 update, is the Oppo Reno6 5G (look out for our review in a few days). While we have had the Reno3, Reno4 and several A series smartphones from Oppo available in the local market, the Reno6 is the first 5G device from the company to go on sale in Kenya officially.
We expect changes to the above timeline over the next few days as new information becomes available so, fingers crossed that your device makes it.
