“OPPO has been cooperating closely with Google for a long time, during which we’ve kept working together to deliver the best possible operating experience through our ColorOS which is based on each version of Google’s Android operating systems,” said Andy Wu, OPPO Vice President and President of Find Product Line. “This time, with the new Android 13, we believe that the performance of our excellent devices, such as the flagship Find X5 Pro, will be fully unleashed to developers and users.”

Beta 1 adds new permissions for more granular access to media files, improved audio routing APIs, and more.

Android 13 Beta 1 will be available for Find X5 Pro, which is OPPO’s latest flagship smartphone released in February 2022. Find X5 Pro comes with OPPO’s first dedicated imaging Neural Processing Unit MariSilicon X and the dual flagship IMX766 camera system, hence, it offers an unparalleled imaging experience.
