OnePlus pushes Android 17 and ColorOS to several older flagship phones

OnePlus has expanded its stable Android 17 rollout to several earlier smartphones, bringing Oppo's ColorOS 17 to the OnePlus 13, 13R, 13s, and 15R. The software update is currently launching in India, following earlier releases for the OnePlus 15 and OnePlus Pad 4 that arrived ahead of an original October 29 schedule. Other regions, including the United States, are expected to follow in the coming weeks. [1][2]

The release formally ditches OxygenOS in favor of ColorOS 17 across the newly updated hardware. According to Android Authority, the switch introduces a redesigned user interface, system performance improvements, and updated artificial intelligence features. While the update for the OnePlus Pad 4 has already achieved a global release, the smartphone upgrades remain largely confined to the Indian market for now. [1][2]

The transition delivers on a planned migration to ColorOS announced after OnePlus shut down operations across global markets earlier this year. Moving supported legacy devices like the flagship OnePlus 13 over to Oppo's core operating skin marks the end of the standalone OxygenOS platform for the brand's international catalog. [1]
