Oppo has been painstakingly working on expanding the availability of ColorOS 16. The update is already available to flagships, mid-ranger phones, and select affordable models. Today, the company has extended the update to two more affordable phones: Oppo A5 4G and Oppo A60. The update bags a bunch of new features, changes, and improvements to the A-series duo.
Oppo hasn’t yet officially confirmed the rollout for two affordable models; however, a number of users allegedly received the update. Oppo A5 4G is receiving the new software upgrade with CPH2727_16.0.1.301 (EX01) build number, whereas the A60 picks up the new update with CPH2631_16.0.2.400 (EX01) firmware version.
