We are still months away from the Android 15 release, but that does not limit the excitement among Android enthusiasts for the new OS.

This is not the final list of Oppo devices that’ll get the Android 15 upgrade, as the official list is yet to be released. However, we already know the software update policy for most devices, and hence, creating the list was not difficult.
Oppo has promised to release four Android upgrades to its flagship phones launched in 2023 and later. Those launched before 2023 will receive three Android upgrades.
The mid-range Oppo Reno, F, K, and Find Lite/Neo series phones are eligible for two major Android updates. Finally, some budget A-series phones will get two major OS updates, while most will only get one upgrade.
If your Oppo phone is not on the list, don’t worry. Wait for the official list, as Oppo might upgrade more devices to the newer OS, and then consider if you need to upgrade to a newer model.
When Will Oppo Start Rolling Out the Android 15 Update?
Android 15 is still through the development phase, with the stable release expected around October, the same as last year’s Android 14. Once the stable release is out, smartphone companies take additional time (usually a few weeks) to optimize their custom skins (ColorOS in the case of Oppo) to work with the new Android OS.
Thanks to the beta program, not every Oppo user must wait until the official release to explore new features and other changes. In fact, the Android 15 beta is already live for Oppo Find N3 and Find X7, offering users an early look at the new OS. The beta program will go live for more devices as the days go by. If you plan to install the beta release, please keep in mind that these beta builds will likely contain bugs and missing features.
Last year, Oppo started rolling out the stable Android 14 update to its eligible devices in November. We expect the Chinese brand to follow a similar timeline for the rollout of Android 15.
As always, flagship phones will be the first to get the new OS, followed by mid-range and budget phones.

Android 15: What to Expect?
Android 15 is unlikely to bring a significant UI redesign. Still, there’s much to be excited about. One of the biggest changes in the new OS is the satellite connectivity support. This feature lets you text your friends even if you don’t have cell towers nearby. Unlike Apple iPhones, the satellite connectivity feature on Android will not be limited to emergency uses only.
The new OS also improves Find My Phone to help you discover your lost phone and help others find their lost phones. All devices running Android 15 can ping each other via Bluetooth and contribute to the network.
Android 15 lets you save storage by uninstalling apps while keeping user data around. This is called App Archiving. The next time you install the archived app, you can continue where you left off without any data loss.
Another useful addition to the new OS is the partial screen-sharing feature. It lets you share or record a single app rather than the entire screen. Android 15 also brings the “Notification cooldown” feature that lowers the volume of successive notifications from the same app.
