Last month Google released the last Android 13 beta for Pixel phones. And that means we can expect stable Android 13 soon as early as this month. And taking this opportunity, Oppo is the first brand to bring the first custom OS beta based on Android 13. We knew that OEMs would start announcing their own Android 13 based custom OS. But Oppo brings ColorOS 13 Beta earlier than expected. Android 13 based ColorOS 13 beta program has gone live for Oppo Find X5 and Find X5 Pro.
The previous Android 13 Developer Preview for Find X5 Pro and Find X5 was not based on ColorOS 13. But now with the beta announcement, Find X5 Pro and Find X5 users can apply for the ColorOS 13 beta program to test out the new ColorOS 13 features and changes. As expected, the Oppo Find X5 is the first series to receive ColorOS 13 beta.

Since this is the first beta build of ColorOS 13, seats are limited. The quota for ColorOS 13 beta for the Find X5 series is 1000.

Also, there is a time limit as well. The Application to apply for ColorOS 13 will be live till August 4.
If you are an Oppo Find X5 Pro or Oppo Find X5 user in mentioned regions then you can apply for the Android 13 based ColorOS 13 beta program by the end of August 4.
