Google has released Android 11 and many OEMs have also started rolling out the Android 11 beta and stable updates to some of their eligible devices. Today, we will take a look at a bunch of devices that are receiving the latest OS update.

The Android Developers official Twitter handle pretty recently posted about the key features of Android 11. Also, the announcement was for app developers so that they can fine-tune their apps as per Google’s latest OS norms.

New features like new conversation bubbles (which as per users is already buggy) and notifications, one-time permissions, new control space, and enhanced 5G support are the key highlights of the Android 11 update. So, let’s see what all devices are getting the latest OS update.

Oppo Ace2, Oppo Find X2, and Oppo Reno3 Series

Oppo is now rolling out the ColorOS 11 (Android 11) update to the Oppo Find X2, X2 Pro, Reno3, Reno3 Pro, and Ace2. It was earlier speculated that the Android 11-based skin would be called ColorOS 8 but now it seems that Oppo is in sync with Google’s OS denomination.

However, the OEM is rolling out Android 11 as a public beta update which means that there are still some final touches before the stable version starts rolling. Users have been taking to Weibo, China’s Twitter equivalent, sharing the details of the latest OS update.
