And for the Oppo users, there is some good news lined up. The OEM has announced that they are bringing the Android 11 Beta package to the Find X2 series as well.
The Developer Preview is mostly slated for the Pixel devices in particular. While the Project Treble devices could also flash the GSI images, but the normal ZIP file could be installed on Pixel handsets. However, that isn’t the case with Beta builds. Most OEMs do come forward and let their device owners get a taste of the latest Android version. While some smartphone manufacturers like OnePlus are usually among the first to be lined up, it’s great to see Oppo joining the party as well.
