OPPO A3s gets new beta, still no sign of ColorOS 6 (Android Pie) update

A lot of new smartphones have been added to OPPO’s portfolio. Moreover, the brand offers various options ranging from budget to mid range devices.

Recently, quite a few OPPO devices have received the latest security or enhancement updates. However, in a recent development, OPPO has started a out-of-the-blue beta testing for the OPPO A3s smartphone.

We have previously reported that OPPO made the ColorOS 6 live for the A3 smartphone for early adopters in August. The new beta testing for OPPO A3s is for a limited number of users so, if you want to be a part of it, you need to enroll quickly.

But, unfortunately, the new beta does not bring in ColorOS 6 for the OPPO A3s device. To recall, we have reported previously that the A3s received new updates that enhance the stability of the device. Moreover, the September security update is also available for the OPPO A3s. 

For a refresher, the OPPO A3s was launched in 2018 and is powered by the Snapdragon 450 processor. It has 2/3/4 GB of RAM and 16/32/64 GB of internal storage options.

Talking about the announcement for the new India specific beta testing for the OPPO A3s, it brings in optimization and enhancements for RAM management of the device.

Below is the official update log and the screenshot of the announcement:
