The OPPO Find X5 Pro receives the Android 13 Beta 1 update. In addition, OPPO is making a ColorOS developer preview available, which is also based on Android 13. The updates are currently only available for the OPPO Find X5 Pro.
Android 13 Beta
Android 13 broadly focuses on privacy and security, among other things. For example, it offers a number of updates including new privacy features and sideload restrictions. OPPO also wants to incorporate many of these points in their new version of ColorOS.
OPPO says in a press release: “We have been working closely with Google for a long time to deliver the best possible operating experience through our ColorOS operating system, based on every version of Google’s Android operating systems. With the new Android 13, we believe that the performance of our quality products, such as the OPPO Find X5 Pro flagship, will be fully exploited by developers and users.”

- Smarter search bar and home screen
- Stream apps on PC
- Reducing loading times
- Relevant information on screensavers
OPPO Find X5 Pro and Android 13
The only OPPO phone with the Android 13 Beta 1 update will currently be the Find X5 Pro, the current top device from the Chinese manufacturer. Developers can also download the preview version of ColorOS at this time. It is not clear when the update with the second beta version of Android 13 will also roll out to the Find X5 Pro.
OPPO is not the only brand that is already working with the beta of Android 13. You will also be able to install the test software on phones from Nokia, Realme, OnePlus and ASUS, Xiaomi and Lenovo, among others. You can read here how to get started.
We also hope that the new version of ColorOS will be a lot more stable than the current version. In his review about the OPPO Find X5 Pro, our Sebastien mentioned a number of problems with the software:
“The Find X5 Pro had some errors in the interface and with the animations. Switching between apps didn’t work quite right and there was also a serious error with the notification overview. That’s why OPPO has me and twice in a few days requested to install a new patch to fix these bugs I can tell you that this is not the first time we get such a request but it happens very rarely and normally not twice. My Find X5 Pro had a critical bug on the second update that caused it to reboot after a few minutes of use. The review unit was eventually replaced and the issues were resolved.”
“I don’t expect any problems with the phones that are intended for sale. I just hope that these software errors are not a precursor to more errors due to new software updates. That is a typical problem that sometimes appears with OnePlus smartphones, but we are not used to it from OPPO.”
