Oppo releases the new version of it’s Kit Kat-based ColorOS

It has not been that long, but at the rate technology and software advances, the flagship devices by Oppo, the Find 7 and Find 7a, are already feeling a bit long in the tooth, despite competent hardware all around, and a smooth user experience that is ColorOS, Oppo’s flavor of Android. As Oppo gains more and more mindshare with its nicely built, attractive, and capable devices, the pressure mounts to keep the software fresh, and that has proven to be a little bit of challenge so far with the Find 7 devices. Oppo likes to cater to the tinkerers and developers out there, and its active forums have all manner of discussions about how to do things with Oppo’s products. In catering to this crowd however, Oppo also does not push a lot of over-the-air updates for ColorOS, favoring instead to release stable builds or Betas to be manually loaded and installed on devices. Fortunately, the process is literally as simple as downloading a file, connecting the phone to your computer, and then initiating the update on the device itself.
