According to Oppo, the smartphone was supposed to receive the software update on March 17 but some users have already started getting the update on their devices ahead of schedule.

According to tweets by users, initially spotted by PiunikaWeb, Oppo has released a stable version of ColorOS 11.1 to select Oppo F15 smartphones with the firmware version CPH2001_11_F.10. Earlier this month, the company had announced the ColorOS 11.1 update rollout for the Oppo F15 would begin from March 17, and so we can expect a wider rollout in the next few days.

Earlier this month, Oppo announced a list of smartphones that were set to receive the stable versions of Android 11-based ColorOS. The company mentioned that 27 smartphones will be receiving the stable version of the update globally in a phased manner this month.
