OPPO Japan has been delivering Android 13 to smartphones released last year, such as OPPO Reno7 A, since June, and new features have been introduced. On the other hand, even with OPPO smartphones using Android 13, there are functions that cannot be used depending on the model, and it was found that there are differences in functions even with the same version. New widgets cannot be used on some models such as OPPO A77 Android 13 (ColorOS 13) for OPPO smartphones has many new features added and improved. One of them has a newly added widget function (displaying information on the home screen), but the new widget cannot be used only with “OPPO A77”. An example of a new widget added in Android 13 OPPO Reno7 A etc. can add the above new widget to the home screen from the “+” button on the edit screen of the home screen. However, only on the OPPO A77, the + button is not displayed on the editing screen, making it impossible to use the new functions. This function is added with an OS version upgrade and is not model-specific, but in this way there are differences in functions depending on the model. There is no button to add a new widget (left photo) The new search function cannot be used In addition to this, there are functions that cannot be used on some models, although they can be used on OPPO Reno7 A etc. On the Oppos smartphone, swiping down on the home screen displays the search screen, but Android 13 has a new search screen called “Shelf”. With Shelf, you can check multiple information such as weather on the search screen on one screen. However, at the moment OPPO A77 does not have the “Shelf” function even following updating to Android 13. When you slide down on the home screen on the OPPO A77 upgraded to Android 13, the same search screen as the previous Android 12 is displayed.

It has been confirmed so far that functional differences have occurred depending on the model following the OS version upgrade of OPPO smartphones. When the Reno5 A and A54 5G were updated to Android 12 last year, differences were found in settings such as the battery level display. After that, the update delivered by OPPO has been improved so that new functions can be used on any model. For this reason, OPPO A77 may also release all new functions in future software updates, as in the previous year. As a user, it is disappointing that some functions cannot be used even if the latest OS is delivered.Related article: OPPO, software update link in quick succession so that “Android 13” can be used on two smartphone models
