Oppo has already begun ColorOS 16 beta testing on several devices and will soon start rolling out the stable update as well. It’s a major upgrade and should be an exciting one, as it’s supposed to bring a host of new features, visual changes across the UI, and numerous improvements.
The Android 16-based update will be available on a range of Oppo devices, including the premium Find N-series, Find X-series, mid-range Reno-series, K-series, F-series, and budget-friendly A-series (see the complete list here). The sad part, however, is that over a dozen of them will receive this as their last major upgrade. In other words, they won’t get any major upgrades beyond Android 16 and ColorOS 16.
We’ve prepared a list of such Oppo devices. Review it below to find out if you may need a hardware upgrade sometime next year to continue receiving the latest features and enhancements.
Oppo devices that will receive Android 16 as their final major upgrade
- Oppo Reno 12 F
- Oppo Reno 12 F 4G
- Oppo Reno 11 F
- Oppo F27
- Oppo F27 Pro+
- Oppo F25 Pro
- Oppo K12
- Oppo K12x
- Oppo K12 Plus
- Oppo Pad 3 Pro
Please note that this is an unofficial list, prepared based on the current update policy and a little bit of guesswork. Hence, I recommend checking the official announcement for the final confirmation.
The final OS upgrade to these Oppo phones — Android 16 — will be released later this year. Post that, they will continue to receive security updates for a while before reaching the end of software updates.
When will Oppo release the Android 16-based ColorOS 16 update?
Oppo hasn’t announced the ColorOS 16 release date yet. However, it’s been a reliable brand when it comes to software updates. It was also one of the few brands to offer early access to Android 16 beta in April.
Earlier this month, Oppo kicked off the ColorOS 16 closed beta testing program, starting with the Find X8 and Find X8 Pro, marking a significant step towards the stable release. More devices are expected to receive the ColorOS 16 beta in the coming weeks.
Regarding the stable rollout, there has been no official announcement yet. However, according to reports, it could go live next month, starting with the premium models. Hopefully, Oppo will release the ColorOS 16 rollout timeline soon, which will give us better clarity about the rollout.
