OnePlus is set to begin a major software transition by replacing OxygenOS with OPPO's ColorOS globally. As part of the shift, eligible OnePlus smartphones and tablets will be able to upgrade to ColorOS 17, which is based on Android 17.
The move is aimed at streamlining software development, improving engineering efficiency, and accelerating future software updates across OnePlus devices.
According to reports, the upgrade will be voluntary, allowing users to either install ColorOS 17 or continue using their existing OxygenOS version. Those who upgrade will also be given a limited rollback window to return to OxygenOS if they prefer the previous software experience, according to Android Authority.
