GizmoChina colleagues told us a few hours ago, also
confirming that a global launch event for ColorOS 12 has been cited for next
October 11 , where the manufacturer of Dongguan will show us all the news of its
proprietary firmware on Android 12 taking advantage of also to tell the world
about these promising new after-sales support policies.
The idea of OPPO is not new, because after Samsung's
announcement other manufacturers have been joining these improvements to
support updates, including direct competitors such as Xiaomi and even its
sister OnePlus , so it only remains to be happy that the big manufacturers of
the Android platform approach or equal Google with the maintenance of its
Android smartphones.
Not only promises, because OPPO has allowed itself the
luxury of filtering in China a strategic roapmap with the plans that are
managed for each of its families of devices, including the basic OPPO A , OPPO
F , Reno and of course also its The Find X flagship series .
