Oppo has officially confirmed the ColorOS 17 global launch for October 13, and OnePlus has just opened registrations for OnePlus users to get an early taste of the software. Notably, this isn't the final build being seeded. It is the ColorOS 17 Open Beta, and for now only Indian users can apply for early access.
The application window runs from October 9 through October 12, just a day before the official release. Eligible users should back up their data before installing, since this is not a final build and various issues may arise. Rolling back to OxygenOS 16 is possible using OnePlus' rollback package, but this will erase all data on the device.
The move marks the end of OxygenOS for OnePlus 15 users, who will permanently migrate to ColorOS once the final build arrives. Oppo has been secretive about the latest software, but it is teasing features such as "fluid motion" and "refined visuals," suggesting a UI overhaul and nicer animations alongside new features.
Those new features are expected to be revealed on October 13, when the global launch takes place. Users who want early access should check their eligibility and prepare their devices before applying.
