- Users with eligible devices can voluntarily update to ColorOS, which aims to streamline software development and improve update delivery by consolidating Oppo and OnePlus platforms.
- Older OnePlus models not eligible for Android 17 updates will still receive maintenance support for OxygenOS, and users can roll back from ColorOS to OxygenOS if desired.
- Realme, another Oppo brand, will also transition to ColorOS starting with Android 17, signaling a broader software consolidation across Oppo’s smartphone brands.
