OnePlus 13 and other OnePlus phones get Android 17 with ColorOS instead of OxygenOS
Key points
- OnePlus has started rolling out Android 17 to more of its devices, including the OnePlus 13.
- The update replaces OxygenOS with ColorOS, the software skin used by Oppo.
- Four more OnePlus phones joined the Android 17 rollout, according to one report.
- The ColorOS version in this update is ColorOS 17, according to one report.
- One report says the rollout began earlier than OnePlus had promised.
The coverage describes a rollout that is already underway and widening, not a planned or rumored change. The OnePlus 13 is described as the latest device to move from OxygenOS to ColorOS, which suggests earlier devices had already made the switch. The reports do not name which ones.
One report ties the software change to a restructuring of OnePlus’s software strategy that was announced a few months ago. The coverage does not say what that announcement contained. It also does not list the four additional phones, say which regions are getting the update, or give a timeline for the remaining devices.
