Conclusion

It is important for my dear friend to notice that this is not a stable final release, even in relation to being experimental, because it is still preliminary releases in its early beta stages, and in such versions companies focus first on the basic functions of the phone and that the system is appropriate for the experience for the user. Consequently, you should expect that there will be some errors or that this system will lack some of the system’s usual “or non-essential” features. But even so, Oppo claims that this version is suitable for basic everyday use, so you can install it on your primary phone.
