Oppo has been a cool and calm customer among smartphone brands when it comes to delivering software updates. Though the company has delivered updates on occasions, it is the Android 10 update, where the company really showed its colors. Oppo released an Android 10 ColorOS 7 update roadmap for its devices for multiple regions and followed it strictly and almost all the phones are now running the Android 10 ColorOS 7 update.
However, it is quite a challenge to keep regular security and other updates for Oppo devices as there are no update policies as such for Oppo phones. Here comes into play this software update tracker. In this post, we will give you a dedicated Oppo Reno2 F software update tracker, which will give you complete information about the changelog as well as the download links for the latest updates.
Note that this post will be updated as soon as a new update goes live for the Oppo Reno2 F smartphone. So, we would advise the Opop Reno2 F readers to check back this post often. With that being said, let us get straight into the article itself:
