Oppo and OnePlus have announced the release of ColorOS 17, their version of the latest Android 17, for specific devices.

OnePlus, despite its absence in the US market, will receive the Android 17 update on various devices.

Oppo claims ColorOS 17 reduces rendering loads by up to 30% and lowers RAM usage by up to 25%. The update also brings AI improvements, such as AI agents for photo editing and file management tasks. OnePlus' ColorOS 17 rollout includes the OnePlus Pad 4, OnePlus 15R, OnePlus 13, OnePlus 13s, OnePlus Open, and several older flagship models.
