With Google’s early release of Android 16 in June 2025, Oppo users must be eagerly waiting to experience the latest Android features wrapped in the company’s ColorOS 16 custom skin. However, the brand is not rushing for the release but instead taking its own time to ensure the update is polished before stable rollout.
Oppo has been actively working on Android 16. In fact, it has already released Android 16 beta for select devices in April, and it looks like the stable release is around the corner. If you’re wondering when your Oppo phone will get Android 16, or whether it even will, here’s everything you need to know about this major upgrade.
Oppo Android 16 (ColorOS 16) release date
Oppo hasn’t announced a release date or rollout timeline for ColorOS 16 just yet. However, if past rollouts are anything to go by, we’re not far off from an official announcement.
In April, Oppo kicked off the Android 16 beta for select models, offering early adopters a preview of what’s coming. A full ColorOS 16 beta is expected to follow in the coming weeks. This will likely include a broader range of devices and give users a first look at all the new features and design changes.
Interestingly, a “closed beta” card recently appeared on the Find X8 series’ beta program page, suggesting the ColorOS 16 beta for those phones is imminent. An official announcement could be right around the corner.

Whether you have a flagship Find X/N model, a mid-ranger Reno model, or a budget-friendly phone, you’re likely looking forward to the next major software upgrade. So, here’s a list of Oppo phones and tablets that will likely get the ColorOS 16 update:

What to expect from Android 16 and ColorOS 16?
Google has added a suite of new features in Android 16, and Oppo’s ColorOS 16 will likely integrate many of them with its own custom touches.
One of the standout additions is Android Protection, an array of security features that’s designed to protect users from online attacks, harmful apps, unsafe websites, scam calls, and other online threats.
We’re also expecting new AI tools and upgrades to the existing AI features. On top of that, ColorOS 16 could offer new features, visual tweaks, more customizations, new widgets, and new clock styles. We’ll know more about the upcoming features once the ColorOS 16 beta goes live.
