Oppo Reno series phones arguably the best sliding mechanism camera phones of 2019. The shark-fin pop up camera is major highlights of the phone, for obvious reasons.

Luckily, the update is available for the Oppo Reno Standard Edition. And here’s the step by step manual guide to download & update Oppo Reno Android Q Beta.
Till Now, Oppo launched two smartphones from the Reno series in India – the Oppo Reno Standard Edition & Oppo Reno 10X Zoom Edition.

So, most probably, these two will get the Android Q Beta update. This is not the first phone by the company, which gets the Android Q, while the Oppo’s spin-off brand phone Realme 3 Pro already taste the Android Q Beta.
The Android Q comes with a lot of new features like the Dark Mode, 5G networks support (for working phones), Live Caption, Google Camera (Mod), Family Link, Direct reply from suggestions, new Gesture navigations, and more.
