The update is available as version CPH1729EX_11_A.29 and includes the Android security patch of August 2019. Users can download the ROM for the 3/4GB variant from this link and install it manually via recovery mode.
The Oppo A71, unveiled in 2017, is also receiving the August security patch. The update is available as version CPH1717EX_11_A.23 and can be downloaded via this link. Users can install the update manually, but it's recommended to follow the instructions carefully to avoid any issues.
