OnePlus has confirmed that the next major OS upgrade for its devices will come with the ColorOS 17 skin instead of OxygenOS 17. The rollout is expected to begin in the coming weeks, but unfortunately, the update won’t reach many OnePlus devices.
The OxygenOS 16 update, based on Android 16, was the last major upgrade for many OnePlus devices, and therefore, they aren’t eligible for future major upgrades, including ColorOS 17. The list includes flagship phones such as the OnePlus 11R, 10R, and 10 Pro, as well as a couple of Nord series phones.
Take a look at the list below to find out if you will need a hardware upgrade soon.
List of OnePlus devices that are not eligible for the ColorOS 17 update
This list has been prepared after carefully reviewing the software update policy for every OnePlus device, and so it must be accurate.
OnePlus flagship phones
- OnePlus 11R
- OnePlus 10R
- OnePlus 10T
- OnePlus 10 Pro
OnePlus Nord series
- OnePlus Nord 3
- OnePlus Nord CE 4
- OnePlus Nord CE 4 Lite
OnePlus Pad series
- OnePlus Pad
- OnePlus Pad Go
To keep the list short and relevant, we’ve only included OnePlus devices that received the OxygenOS 16 update but are not eligible for ColorOS 17.
If your OnePlus device is on the list above, it may be time to start thinking about an upgrade. The device should still receive security patches for a while, but it won’t have access to the newest features, visual upgrades, and AI capabilities that come with major upgrades.
There are some excellent OnePlus phones in the market, promising up to four major OS upgrades. Most recent flagship phones are covered by that promise, and it also extends to some Nord phones. That means you don’t need to spend a premium just to get long-term software support. Click here to check the full list of OnePlus phones that promise four major Android upgrades.
