OnePlus sets Android 17 rollout schedule as ColorOS officially replaces OxygenOS

OnePlus devices are beginning to receive Android 17, but the update marks the end of OxygenOS as supported hardware shifts to Oppo's ColorOS 17. The ColorOS Global account on X posted an update roadmap starting with the OnePlus 13R on November 5. The OnePlus 12 follows on November 17, the OnePlus Pad 3 on November 18, and the OnePlus Open foldable on November 24, before the Nord 6 and Nord CE 6 join the rollout on November 26. [1][2]

The release dates represent the start of staggered rollouts, meaning regional availability can vary and not every user will receive the software immediately. Another 13 OnePlus devices are slated for the update between December and the first quarter of 2027, including the OnePlus 11, OnePlus 12R, OnePlus Pad 2, and Nord 5. Built on Android 17, ColorOS 17 introduces smoother animations, interface refinements, performance optimizations, and enhanced cross-device continuity. [1][2]

While the name change officially retires OxygenOS, it reflects an alignment that has been years in the making. Oppo and OnePlus had already merged software teams, leaving the two interfaces virtually indistinguishable. OnePlus is pitching ColorOS 17 as a smarter operating system centered on artificial intelligence features, smoother overall interactions, and seamless transitions between devices. [1][2]
