Oppo Find X2 Pro and Oppo Find X2 are the two latest phones to get the new Android 11 beta 1 update. This comes just days after the series was launched in India. The company had earlier announced availability of Android 11 beta for the two phones, and it has followed through on its promise now. This beta update is meant only for developers and advanced users, and people who use these phones as daily drivers are not recommended to download the update.

The company took to the ColorOS forums to announce the Android 11 download link availability for the Oppo Find X2 Pro and Oppo Find X2 phones. Oppo notes that the Android 11 beta 1 works only for model numbers CPH2023 and CPH2025. Other models are not supported, and therefore interested developers are cautioned to check this detail before beginning the flashing process.

Oppo clarifies that the latest Android 11 Preview version is based on Android 11 Beta 1, but adopts the UI design style of ColorOS 7.2. As you may already know, the flashing process will delete all of your data, so it is recommended to back up all data before beginning. Also, ensure that you are thorough with the process of installation, or else you could risk bricking your Oppo Find X2 series phones.

Before you begin the installation process, Oppo has confirmed some known issues with this beta update. There are some issues with video calling wherein calls don't go through or the image is not displayed in some cases. The phone is also unable to detect a simulated four-pole earphone jack sometimes, and audio will play through the speaker in these cases. The update brings charging issues with a CDP charger and some Google apps were spotted to not run normally either.
