The update was announced on ColorOS’ official Twitter account. It mentioned that the update is now rolling out in India and it will arrive in Indonesia, Malaysia, and Thailand by the end of October. The trial version is going to be available to only a limited range of models starting with the Reno. However, the account hasn’t spoken about any other models. This does indicate that the trial version could be made available to other Reno phones as well.
