OnePlus has initiated closed beta testing of ColorOS 17 on the OnePlus 15 and OnePlus 15R models in India, marking the first step towards shifting away from OxygenOS. This software overhaul aims to streamline development, reduce update cycles, and leverage shared resources across OPPO and OnePlus. Out of around 300 applicants, only the top scorers, after a 15-question assessment and potential NDA signing, will be granted access to the firmware.

OnePlus 15 and 15R devices currently run OxygenOS 16, with ColorOS 17 based on Android 17 and focused on performance and stability. The transition also influences enterprise management policies, application compatibility, security settings, and deployment procedures for Android device fleets.
