If your device is eligible for an update, go to Settings > Software Update > Gears icon to request a trial version. Once confirmed, you will receive the ColorOS 12 stable update via OTA update. As mentioned earlier, updates are deployed in batches.
Since this is a major OS update, please back up your data. Incompatibility or other unforeseen circumstances may result in data deletion. Once the update is complete, the operating system will take steps to optimize the device automatically. This can cause the phone to overheat, lag or drain the battery quickly.
After successfully installing the update, it is recommended to turn off the screen and charge the device overnight. Some third-party apps are not compatible with Android 12. Installing such programs can lead to technical issues like device lag and crashes.
