OnePlus starts rolling out stable Android 17 updates early, marking the end of OxygenOS

OnePlus has commenced rolling out stable Android 17 updates to its OnePlus 15 and OnePlus Pad 4 devices, effectively marking the end of the OxygenOS era. These devices are the first to transition from OxygenOS to ColorOS, which was initially a "stock" skin with added features, eventually evolving into a global-optimized version of Oppo's ColorOS.

With the closure of most of its global operations, OnePlus announced that OxygenOS would be phased out, with existing devices updating to ColorOS. The rollout began in India, with ColorOS 17 based on Android 17 being introduced to the OnePlus 15 and OnePlus Pad 4. After a beta phase, today marks the beginning of the stable rollout.

ColorOS 17 introduces a new wave of smarter experiences, smoother interactions, and enhanced customization options, embodying the concept of "Flow with AI, Flow Everywhere." The idea is to make technology feel more natural and less cumbersome, adapting to users' needs and preferences. Initially scheduled for an October 29 launch, the updates were delayed, with the first wave encompassing the OnePlus 15 and Pad 4.

Other devices, including last-gen flagships and various Nord models, are expected to receive updates in the coming days. The next wave is set for October 30, targeting the OnePlus 13.
