[DISCUSSION] Oppo F3 Plus – Official Nougat (ColorOS 3.0) Update & Custom ROMs Before diving into the XDA forums
Before diving into the XDA forums, let’s address the elephant in the room. Oppo released the F3 Plus with ColorOS 3.0 on top of Android 6.0. In mid-2018, a soak test for Android Nougat (7.1.1) surfaced in India. Users reported a new UI, split-screen multitasking, and improved Doze mode.
However, the update was pulled. Why?
According to XDA user threads (specifically the "Oppo F3 Plus Nougat update status" thread), users complained of:
Oppo never released a stable global Nougat build. This left the Western and European XDA community to take matters into their own hands.
Key takeaway: There is no official, flashable Nougat OTA for the CPH1613 global variant. But there are unofficial options.
