Oppo confirms list of devices getting its Android 17 update, rollout starts this month

Oppo has officially unveiled ColorOS 17, its Android 17 update, to global markets this week and confirmed a list of devices that will receive the update. ColorOS 17 brings two main focuses - smooth performance and AI capabilities. Alongside Liquid Glass design elements, the update is powered by a "Luminous Rendering Engine" that creates animations reacting to touch.

Oppo claims ColorOS 17 offers a more alive and interactive user experience with fluid, elastic motion and nuanced lighting effects. The update incorporates a new Unified Rendering Architecture that ensures smoother transitions between elements. In terms of performance, ColorOS 17 boasts 55% more stable app launches and 25% better app retention in memory.

AI features include AI Mind Space, AI Mind Pilot, AI Mind Suggest, and an AI Photo Agent that allows users to edit photos using prompts. The global rollout of ColorOS 17 is set to begin on October 29, with over a dozen devices receiving the update by the end of the month and more to follow in the first quarter of 2027. Oppo's announcement extends to Realme and OnePlus devices, with updates starting on the same date for select models.
