While it’s an unofficial list, it should closely resemble the official one when it’s announced, as it’s been prepared in accordance with the official update policy.
It won’t take long to notice that there are no Oppo A-series phones on the list. The reason is that most A-series phones do not have an official update policy. So, we decided to exclude that for now to keep the list accurate.
We’ll update the list when Oppo announces ColorOS 17, which is scheduled for September 17.
When will Oppo roll out the ColorOS 17 update?
Oppo hasn’t announced the ColorOS 17 rollout schedule yet, but it appears the rollout could begin earlier than last year’s ColorOS 16. The company announced ColorOS 16 in China in mid-October, while the ColorOS 17 launch is happening a month earlier, on September 16.
As always, the rollout will begin in China first, likely starting early October, while the global rollout could begin later that month. We’ll have more clarity on this when Oppo reveals the timeline at the ColorOS 17 launch event on September 17.
The brand hasn’t announced a global launch date yet. We’ll likely hear about it soon after ColorOS 17 launches in China.
Oppo ColorOS 17 update: Here’s what to expect
Beta testers and leaks have revealed almost all the major visual changes coming to ColorOS 17. The new software brings a stronger translucent frosted-glass appearance across the UI. It features an updated Control Center with fully circular controls and redesigned settings and edit buttons.
The updated Quick Settings panel uses a translucent frosted-glass appearance with contour glow, and swiping between the Control Panel and Notification Center produces a bouncy animation with visible layer separation. It features expanded volume and brightness sliders for finer controls.
The volume slider now features a quick mute button at the bottom and a percentage display at the top. When earbuds are connected, the volume slider shows an earbud icon.
ColorOS 17 replaces the traditional navigation bar with a transparent capsule-style navigation bar that works across most system apps, including Phone, Notes, and Recorder. Users can swipe left or right to switch sections.
The Flux Themes get new interactive effects and smoother animations. The vertical clock on the lock screen now offers three font styles and uses a frosted-glass treatment with a contour glow. Oppo brings iOS 26-inspired flashlight interface, allowing brightness adjustments by swiping up or down on the screen.
The Phone app now features a redesigned call interface with a larger end call button and more customization options. The Media Player has also been updated to feature a stronger frosted-glass effect, a comet-like animated seek bar, and a light-field aesthetic for added depth. The new software also adds a new “Live Alert” charging animation with a glow effect, paired with a more spacious charging tone.
Besides visual upgrades, ColorOS 17 is reported to have better RAM management and thermal efficiency. The Photos app is expected to bring new AI-assisted editing tools.
I’m sure ColorOS 17 brings more exciting new features and upgrades that the company will highlight at the upcoming event.
