Oppo opens ColorOS 17 beta: OnePlus and Realme models confirmed for the new firmware

Oppo has started accepting applications for the closed beta of ColorOS 17. This is the first concrete sign of which Oppo, OnePlus, and Realme smartphones will move to the unified platform after OnePlus and Realme confirmed they are dropping their own OxygenOS and Realme UI skins in favor of ColorOS.

According to X user @yabhishekhd, the global testing program includes the OnePlus 15, OnePlus 15R, Oppo Find X9 Pro, Oppo Reno15 Pro, Oppo Reno15 Pro Mini, and Realme GT 8 Pro. To apply, users need to open Settings, go to System & Updates, select Software Update, tap the three dots below the battery icon, choose Beta Program, then Closed Beta, and submit an application. After that, a Google account sign-in and a short quiz are required.

The Chinese program covers a longer list of devices: the Oppo Find X9 Ultra, Find X9s Pro, Find X9 Pro, Find X9, Find N6, and Pad 5 Pro, along with the OnePlus 15, OnePlus 15T, and OnePlus Tablet 3 Pro. The Realme GT 8 Pro and a special GT 8 Pro Aston Martin F1 Limited Edition variant are also included.

The difference in the lists is likely due to staggered regional rollouts. One model on the China list, the OnePlus 15T, is not yet available globally. OnePlus has previously confirmed that it will stop shipping devices in Europe and the U.S. once current inventory runs out. Meanwhile, handsets still due for major Android updates will be moved from OxygenOS to ColorOS rather than left on the older platform.

The device list was shared by @yabhishekhd on X and by Whylab on Weibo.
