Exactamente. Yo lo he comprado en España, pero tampoco ha sido barato. Y teniendo en cuenta que es el móvil de gama alta, no entiendo que esté llegando con tanta distancia entre usuarios.
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] legui4:
Si yo le compré a un hombre que vino desde España pero me pidió fortuna, es un celular hermoso en todos los aspectos, pero que tenga estos problemas de actualización me parece lamentable.
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] mmartica:
En realidad, los que ya la han recibido, es porque no les llegó la de noviembre y en diciembre les llegó la OTA, así que, en buena lógica, los que no hemos recibido actualización en diciembre deberíamos recibir en enero. Yo espero que la semana que viene, sobre el 22, quizá.
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] legui4:
Ojala pero aún sigo sin entender la política de actualización sobre todo siendo aún su último buque insignia si así ahora es el soporte de actualización no me imagino después de un año más, por eso en estos casos apple le saca años luz en tema actualización

Not only Apple. Google, Samsung (not only) are very quickly about release. Oppo is.....Oppo
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] mmartica:
Sorry, you're right, I don't control English very well but I'll try. Greetings!
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] mmartica:
The partner is right. If this happens in the first year, the next two are going to be a disaster.
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] fedonis:
Mine in leaving. Pixel 6 pro is the way. Oppo is a road closed. Not worth wasting time on. Remains my wife's find x3 pro.
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] akirax:
I'm also think the same.

Cheers.
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] hlhmark:
That's a shame as technically it's still not out in the UK then :/ .

If your job roles with Oppo do they have any idea when it's supposedly gonna drop in the UK? As I'm now 2 months out of date or aren't you allowed to share anything like that ? :( Still stuck on A.26

Really going to contemplate the S22 Ultra seems as they are jibbing of Exynos over in the UK this time as they've got Android 12 as do Sony handsets and that is saying something 😂

Wouldn't mind if it was because of a Network vendor but it's unlocked
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] wildlime:
I don't work for Oppo sorry. It's worth the wait. This build is so polished and for some reason the battery is better!

I am from Spain but better talk in english here so everybody can understand you because this is an english speaking forum.
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] legui4:
sorry, you are right, my english is not good
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] GaetanoS.89:
I know you can't share the file for the job's policies, but I have a question for you.

How is it possible that you got this kind of beta testing version while the beta testers time is closed from a while?

Are them working seriously like that? They are releasing the update for lower specs phone and plenty of X3 Pro are still waiting for the Update.

This is the way on how to lose customers.
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] wildlime:
This isn't a beta version. It's a final version that needs to undergo network testing in the UK. I work for a mobile network so I have access to the software.
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] fedonis:
You have the C.41 version. If I remember rightly, the first coloros 12 released in Europe was the C.37. Few days after was released the C.39 version.

I think that C.41(yours) is the last version, currently non available by ota because in test.
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] GaetanoS.89:
So this will not even be a no brand firmware.
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] Med1602:
I am on Android 11 this has reached a person today Vodafone Spain has told me
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] fedonis:
Ok, it means that is latest official ota firmware
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] GaetanoS.89:
Could you please write in english?
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] fedonis:
I think that is update from C.39 to C.41. If correct, the version C.41 is official now. @wildlime, do you think possible share the file now?
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] GaetanoS.89:
Could be. But, if the file that the other user for from his work, is for a carrier branded phone, is not for everyone
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] Med1602:
Oppo some with c_39 others with C_41 and us with Android 11
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] hlhmark:
Any idea on a timescale that the testing is likely to take before release or how long it normally takes?

It's annoying as my phone's unlocked but still uses CPW (Carphone Warehouse firmware) the same way my X2 pro did.

But the Engineer codes became available then a tool was made to be able to flash and change your region, it worked well too.

Bugs the ar*e off me that the phone it's unlocked, dual SIM'D and for the UK technically locked 🙄💩

Should be running the "Global" version, definitely frustrating when much much lesser Shamsung phones are getting A12 :/ (know that's not your fault mate!) ☺️
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] fedonis:
The version C.41 seems released. Look up at post 492
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] adicken:
Does the tool for changing region still work?
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] fedonis:
Iot check region and some other information about the phone

*#6776#
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] step0011:
I may be mistaken, but I'm not aware of network specific varients / ROMs in the UK. Just a generic UK variant of the global ROM (CPH2173)

The updates are initially rolled out in small batches within regional demographics - almost all OEMs do it this way, just to verify functionality isn't impaired and they don't open the floodgates to a "bad day" for public relations :)

I've seen that updates are currently rolling to previous beta testers, so should theoretically be rolling to the wider community imminently pending a trouble free experience within that small group, any kinks and bugs may slow it down but it's all due diligence.
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] hlhmark:
No mate it was for the X2 Pro and I think it was patched :(
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] hlhmark:
Yes to Vodafone Spain, I'm guessing UK networks will also do their own flight of it and feedback changes or issues so likelyhood of us getting C.41 anytime soon isn't hopeful.

The fact I'm now over 2 months of updates behind and on November's Security patch says it all.
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] hlhmark:
That's what I mean though really don't get why the Unlocked UK handsets don't just get the Global updates.

Fair enough if it was locked to a Network but 🤷‍♂️.

And I'm 2 months behind on updates I'm on Novembers Security patch on Oppo's Flagship, there's doing small numbers and then there's this, the fact Samsung's non flagship and mid level phones have gotten A12 is ridiculous.

I get Oppo is smaller company wise I guess over here but in the same breath back in the day so was OnePlus and they pretty much released them on the day a new version was released for the Pixel phones

Seems someone is getting the OTA you are talking about. You can see some of the recent posts.

So will you be able to share it now?

How big is the size of the OTA you got from your job?
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] fedonis:
There is not a fw for every European country. C.41 in Europe, is the same for everyone. It can be different between from the global and the gdpr version, nothing else. I believe that Fw in Europe are the same for everyone(also UK). Can you check your fw? *#6776# :

go down, Factory version: CPH2173GDPR_11_A.26_2021xxxxxxxxxxx
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] step0011:
It appears the UK/GB may have its own variant, CPH2173CPW_11.A.26_0260_202111112318 XX00GBXX.

That's why I said regional demographic and not country specific.

Although even within specified countries it could still be that grammatical / spelling errors & translations may need polishing up at a country level, eg UK English is sufficiently different to US English & Latin Spanish Vs European Spanish even though either is legible in respected areas.
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] fedonis:
I don't think so. Mine has received various updates with english vpn. Why was the release in the UK and not in Spain, Germany, or Italy (example)? An Italian user wrote that his X3 Pro, was updated during the Christmas holidays in London. Why a different fw was released in uk? Languages and their grammatical variants are normally found in all international roms from all brand.

I have owned various phones. I have always found languages and their variants. Portuguese and Brazilian Portuguese. English and American English, Italian and Swiss Italian. Oppo is simply very slow, like a sloth
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] bahamot_zero:
Another firmware update...
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] adicken:
What region are you?
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] bahamot_zero:
South East Asia
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] step0011:
Ok, I recognise what you are saying.

I'm currently in the UK using a generic, unlocked device. No update for me.

I'm not saying "this is how it is" I'm making an educated guess with hypothetical situations which may delay the program.

From my perspective, Oppo are relatively new to breaking into the mainstream in Europe, they don't want to upset a relatively new consumer base with an update that may brick their phones like OnePlus had issues with.

99% of the consumer market won't give a second thought to an update being delayed, but they would kick off if they're receiving a sub par update.

I would assume they're deliberately rolling out slowly to small groups initially, waiting to see if it's good, if there's any problems it's confined to a small number of devices, no major harm, any amendments can be made before the update is rolled out en mass.

Be patient, it's coming.
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] exmatproton:
Wow .. januari sec patch..and the rest is still on november??
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] akirax:
Hi, as you can see it's rolling out the same firmware via OTA, can you share it now?

Cheers.
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] fedonis:
I understand your point of view, very polite. I just don't agree. For me Oppo is simply very slow. I know Oppo from the Find 7, always the same. It takes a lot of patience with Oppo
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] step0011:
well, that's a Matter of opinion, on this occasion anyway, this is my first oppo device, I can't comment on past rollouts.

Samsung, Xiaomi, OnePlus etc are currently also rolling out flagship A12 globally, give or take a week or two, they're all pretty much equally paced with android 12.

They've all started and paused rollouts to fix bugs, again it's common practice.
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] fedonis:
You're right. Opinions only. The currently situation says their flagship is out of date and has the October (A.24) or November (A.26) security patches at best. Anyway, we can only wait
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] GaetanoS.89:
If anyone is getting the ColorOS 12 Update coming from the ColorOS 11, please try to search the zip file name on your devices after downloading it.

If you restart the phone after the installation, the file will be deleted.

Thank you
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] kaitenken:
That's a great idea!!
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] ergalle2:
What is the Twitter account for Oppo firmware updates?... maybe we can tell them what we think about their "wonderful updates policy" for their flagship...
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] GaetanoS.89:
Trust me, will not make any difference.

The guys under the customer support and social media pages are only agent that have no clue and just reply what they have been told to say.
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] fedonis:
But just to compliment their upgrade policies. Of course, nothing changes. But Oppo deserves the compliments
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] GaetanoS.89:
I know, but will be a useless time spent writing them. I did it already and the answer was simply to wait.
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] ergalle2:
Ok, i see...
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] V1TRU:
Anyone in Europe with c37 that finded update c41?

I'm still on c37 with november sec patch
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] GaetanoS.89:
At least you have ColorOS 12 with A12. There are people here Still on ColorOS 11 with november security patch.

Will you be able to share the file name of the OTA?

Are you able to extract your OTA file?
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] fedonis:
there are also owners still on coloros 11 and october security patch. (A.24). Oppo.....
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] fedonis:
sorry, double post
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] GaetanoS.89:
That is even worse, I know.

The baddest way on how to manage Updates.
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] syneoa:
Me coming from LG phones is amused how much you are complaining lol. Couple of months of waiting is nothing really, it is important that updates keep coming and with Oppo promising 3 major android versions is really good.

I don't know with which OS this phone was launched but if it was 11 then even Android 14 will come and by then battery will be half dead anyway, cheers!
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] fedonis:
It is not even possible to pay for a phone 1149 euros ( the famous Oppo's flagship) that still has (at the end of January) the october security patch. What about the montly security patch? Instead, if you want to talk about the worst, the winner is surely LG. Do you like to win easy?
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] syneoa:
Personally, I would like updates every 2 months. I know people complain about updates for any manufacturer, even Pixel with their botched January update. Maybe Oppo faced with same issue and waiting Google to fix it.
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] fedonis:
Just for clarity I summarize the situation:

What you want is personal. You may not even want update, that's your problem. The stable version of coloros 12 was released in October in China, India and other countries around. In Europe in December. But they are just super slow. They didn't have to solve anything, the pixel problem was something else. Just resolved by last update. But let's not talk about updating, let's talk about security . The security patch? You(Oppo) want to be a Big in the mobile world, but you are not able to update the security patches on your flagship. These are the facts, the rest are opinions. They don't matter.

Oppo support:

"In regards to your query, kindly be advised ColorOS 12 software upgrade have been confirmed to be roll-out for OPPO Find X3 Pro. All the eligible devices will be receiving the update via OTA (On-The-Air) in batches starting October 2021 onwards.

ColorOS 12 will be available in all of these countries bit by bit. We will announce the list of countries and regions where ColorOS 12 is availa-ble soon. For the some countries running exclusive carrier version, the updates for ColorOS will be adjusted based on the decisions of the phone carriers.

That being said, we would not be able to advise the exact time the update will be made available on your device."

From October till now, a lot Find x3 pro, not received updates but neither received security patch update. Others, only november security patch, and still others (few) also received two updates about color os 12. It just looks like a big mess to me
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] GaetanoS.89:
Totally agree with you mate.

They made a flagship, with a flagship price, but a low range software support.

I think they should put the price down until they will have a proper sw support, just like Google or Samsung.
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] step0011:
If you all want the latest software updates as soon as they come out. Get a Pixel / iPhone.

As far as third party OEM's, they're all in the process of rolling out android 12 to their flagships.

Ultimately, Oppo aren't on this occasion at least any slower than the rest of the pack.

The updates coming.
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] fedonis:
Exactly. That's right, if you want a well supported device, you can't get an oppo. Not even the "flagship".
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] step0011:
I understand your frustrations, I'm just as eager to get my hands on the latest software :)

But you should check the other forums, they're all complaining, there's no point slamming Oppo when it's the same for Samsung, Sony, Motorola, Xiaomi just to name a few.

You'll get the update when it's ready, I read somewhere on the Oppo forums a while back they're aiming for EEA deployment to consumers by the end of January. Network exclusive devices will be rolled out at a later time pending network operator approval.

I haven't seen any further updates on this and if I do, I'll definitely come back and report here.
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] fedonis:
Thanks for the information, anyway I think it is better to clarify and explain. It's not frustration. The coloros 12 is not available till now? Ok,(not true is only a oppo,s distribution issue) but you need to update the security patches. This is what I consider serious. I bought two Find X3 pro, one for me and one for my wife. (I'll switch to pixel 6 pro). But I spent 1149 + 1149 euros to get two unsupported phones neither in the security patch. It's not a good way. That's all, very simple. I have a double right to say what I think about oppo updates.
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] step0011:
Security patches, yes I agree they're getting a bit old now, it's recommended they're updated at least once every 3 months.

I'm a disgruntled Pixel owner who moved over to Oppo. Wise decision - I hope so.

I've never owned a pixel device except the pixel 1 that lasted the full 2 year term of my contract.

Pixel 2 XL, I had like 5 of them 4 of them developed faults with the charging board and smashed one screen, Pixel 3 nuked it's self after a firmware update... Pixel 4... The batteries were awful, ended up doing a insurance claim and swapped for a Samsung Note 10 5g, I'd given up on Google devices. My partner has the Pixel 5 and she's more than happy with it & she's had it since it launched, the 6... I wasn't sure about the Tensor chipset.
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] fedonis:
I think that the Pixel 6 in support and updates are unmatched by oppo. I know Oppo from Find 7. Updates were very slow. The problem is they want to update a lot of smartphone at the same time, but they can't. Find X3 neo, Lite and Reno needed to be updated after X3 pro(scheduled update first part of 2022). Instead they started the updates. As result, updates very slowly for all and a lot of find X3 pro has no updated and with october at best november security patch. Also color-os 12 (c.37 and c.39) has the october and november security patches. IOT december security patch, wait the C41 update. As usual oppo's mess
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] legui4:
sir excuse me for my insistence could you share me the otta update firmware of your oppo
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] GaetanoS.89:
We don't have it.

There is only 1 guy here that got the OTA but he can not share due his job's policy.

We already asked him more than one time.
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] fedonis:
It would be the best solution, but work is work. Better to avoid problems
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] GaetanoS.89:
I know, will be great but we don't know if that update will be suitable also for a no brand/no carrier phones.
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] legui4:
the long wait
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] fedonis:
you right
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] syneoa:
I think ideal solution would be to put all people complaining here to be in the first deplyment wave. Everyone wins, certinly Oppo with newly recruited testers.
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] VeniceDW:
I find it really amazing how much one or the other complains and complains as if their life depends on this update. Constructive criticism makes sense, but switching this talk to another manufacturer is annoying. Just do it and keep quiet because nobody wants to know.
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] VeniceDW:
please excuse the double post
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] hlhmark:
Well people have the freedom to express their views, experiences and compare to other manufacturers.

It's not the end of the world no, however it's also not acceptable when A. Said company says they will deliver a patch/security patch each month for their flagship only to drop the ball neigh on immediately and make cr*p excuses as to why and B. When they are lagging behind other manufacturers I mean Sony & Samsung have gotten theirs out to flagships and mid range phones.

Yet here some of us are 2 months+ out of date.

I complain a lot because I paid a LOT for the phone and those updates were promised until it magically disappeared and that effected the decision making for the purchase.

I use my handset for everything including my workplace (I work in IT) and due to the data we store/access the devices local storage need to be encrypted as well as being up to date on Security patched too, not 2, 3, 4 months out of date :/ .

That's why I'm vocal about it, I don't and didn't need to explain myself but chose to so I don't come across as being one of these uncompramising, keyboard warriors 😂.

But at the end of the day I've paid a lot for the device, part of the marketing/site info was clearly not true and that would have potentially Influenced that, same with them also disappearing the LTPO part of the Screen section 😅.

Ontop of that I'm expecting these patches to fix known bugs and irritating issues, but in the meantime having to just deal with them.

I do really like the phone the camera's are amazing next to none! UI feels great, feature set is great along with the charging speeds and how nice the Phone feels and looks physically.

So it's a shame that they are dropping the ball and just vaguely saying eventually it will come when other manufacturers are already there.

They want to charge a premium and compete with other premium manufacturers like Samsung etc then they need to be justifying and earning that premium cash, competing on all fronts including software development, patches and OS updates.
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] albainvetta:
I think that with this explanation and analisys you well summarized the feelings of many users in this thread.

OPPO is failing to deliver on their promises, but also lacking in transparency. Is infuriating how their social accounts are still pushing the "magic" of ColorOS12 when in reality very few have seen it. Marketing stunts that I hope will have an impact on their future sales in the west world.
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] GaetanoS.89:
That is the exactly feeling. Even if all of us are not in the IT for work.

We pay a lot and we expect a lot. That is what a flagship phone have to be.

If they set half of the price they sold the phone, was totally understandable, but the price was a proper flagship one, and the software support need to have a flagship support.
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] fedonis:

[OPPO Find X3 Pro] fedonis:
Glad of it. I am also very happy to read your posts. Yours are an enrichment too. Kindness aside, have you received any security patch updates or are you stuck in November or October?
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] khoaitaychienvn:
Just a C44 update
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] leroilion02:
i think this update is the stable after the beta not after 11.2 ??
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] fedonis:
In Europe the first stable coloros 12 release (find X3 Pro obviously) was C.37. Then there was the C.39, follow C.41 and now this, C.44. Beta version was never available (officially) in Europe, but ended at the end of September 2021. At the beginning of October, the stable version was released in China, India and others. In December in Europe.
