In the case of flagship from OnePlus, the Known bugs of this first preview android 13 are diverse, starting because installing the new version will erase all the user’s personal data when we go back to Android 12 or update the build.

There are also certain issues with stability and performanceas well as with some apps that won’t work as expectedbecause for now it is impossible to move the documents in “My files” or activate voice recording in some apps, among other problems.

Some ORoaming functions also cannot be used for now, though everything else should be more or less stable to work without major complications.

Known issues in OPPO Find X5 Pro

As for the OPPO Find X5 Pro, we also have an extensive list of bugs of youthwhich start in various camera problems and the multimedia system in general.

Thus, photos from the front camera may be displayed abnormally and retouch effects probably won’t work when selecting Retouch in the mode Portrait of the main camera. There are also certain stability issues with the camera in dark environmentsas the night mode does not seem to work quite well on all occasions.

Of course they don’t get off, so some apps don’t work as they should either with examples in the compass not displaying latitude and longitude, or data usage stats not being accessible either, including even a more annoying issue in the native browser being unstable with some web pages.
