After trying NordVpn, TurboVpn and a few others Vpn's, all un-succesuful, I installed Seed4.me VPN. A few seconds later I had the new system version showing up in the settings. I'm able to download 11_A.15 version. I'm based in UK on O2 network.

Changed to India but without any luck
Mate, the key is that not everyone has that option (beta version) including me.. why oppo is limiting it ? Have no idea.
I was probably just lucky enough to grab the beta being in Aus. . . . no idea how Oppo allocates the trial slot.
I wonder if you already had the Beta option before changing the settings or if it appeared after switching to India...
If you already had the option (and you just couldn't find the update without Indian VPN) it would mean, I don't even have to retry and retry and retry to get it. If the option wasn't there neither on your phone I could have a little chance to get it to...
Do you understand what I want to say?
No option for trial prior so like you, I was getting desperate . . . until i tried using vpn. But before I connected to it, I made sure that my region and language (English US) were already changed.
Well, then it depends on their servers... I have tried several times to get that stupid Beta option. I changed region and language before, while and after connecting to the vpn
I tried force closing settings and also deleted the cache of Software update service. Let's say I did everything possible to get the update. It seems they select the devices on their own.I did exactly the same as you and no luck ;(Well, then it depends on their servers... I have tried several times to get that stupid Beta option. I changed region and language before, while and after connecting to the vpn
In my case I had the trial options already. Initially just a vpn did not work. After region change and vpn the trail option changed to beta .
There are a couple of issue with the beta. There is no way to downgrade back to 6.1.
Google pay doesn't work.
There are battery issues
Some graphics are wonky
Performance seems to be good .animations are smoother and the phone feels snappier
It may be a good idea to wait until the full version is available. I don't know if I'm going to get future updates going forward as the vpn trick doesn't always work

I'm overall happy with the trial performance. As per "wonky graphics" I think it's related to forced dark mode on 3rd party apps, so I just exclude them on the list and graphics is back to it's normal mode. A few that I noticed not working properly with dark mode are Facebook, facebook messenger, whatsapp, tripview and samsung wear.
Even in the main settings page the dark mode caused issue . Like the search button not showing initially until a full reset was done.
There is also a weird battery drain issue.its using to much battery in stand by mode between 12 to 15 % percent overnight ( 7 hours sleep period). This is after a full reset.
Over all performance for a beta version is really good.there is definitely a performance increase in animation speed and smoothness.
The only concern I have is there is no easy way to flash firmware in this phone. Samsung phones are extremely easy to flash firmware on . I hope we don't encounter an issue upgrading to the full version when that one gets released.
Google pay not working is another issue but I can live with that for now
I love the new camera option with one tap we can select the 5x zoom now. Instead of the 6x zoom crap on colour os 6.
Color is 7 is not a bad andoid skin overall. Personally I think it looks better then Samsung UI. If there was a way to install oxygen is on this phone, since the same manufacturer, now that will be great.
I'm really tempted to sell this phone and get the OnePlus 7t or 7 pro as oxygen and 90 MHz refresh rate makes an big difference.

I am in India at the moment, my oppo has the beta option, language is set to US, time zone is set to India. Which other setting do I need to change? I don't see any update so far. Thanks!
Have you checked to activate the Beta option in the Update's settings? If there is no Beta option you can't do anything. You'll have to wait ...
