This recruitment exercise, the company says, will begin on January 25 and will run until January 27. That said, it won’t be until January 28 when the first batch of devices will receive these Android 11-based OriginOS test builds on their devices.

It is important to note that the OriginOS is a China-exclusive firmware at the moment and international devices are still going to be running FuntouchOS 11.

We shall continue to keep an eye on this and update as and when we get more info on this OriginOS Public Beta so stay tuned PiunikaWeb for these and more.
