OnePlus ColorOS 17 UK Upgrade

Will your OnePlus phone get the ColorOS 17 upgrade in the UK?

Now that OnePlus has confirmed its exit from the UK market, existing users are wondering what this means for their devices. Fortunately, the Chinese firm has announced that support will continue, with software upgrades coming in the form of ColorOS, the operating system used by parent company Oppo, as found on devices like the Oppo Find X9 Ultra.

ColorOS and OxygenOS are very similar, so users shouldn’t take too long to get used to the new operating system. However, users also have the option to stay on OxygenOS if they prefer. The big question is, which OnePlus phones and tablets are eligible to transfer to ColorOS? While there’s no official list, it’s likely that devices still set to receive OS software support will be eligible.

The following OnePlus devices will be able to upgrade to ColorOS 17: OnePlus 15, OnePlus 15R, OnePlus 13, OnePlus 13R, OnePlus 13s, OnePlus 12, OnePlus 12R, OnePlus Open, OnePlus 11, OnePlus N6, OnePlus Nord 6, OnePlus Nord CE 6, OnePlus Nord CE 6 Lite, OnePlus Nord 5, OnePlus Nord CE 5, and OnePlus Nord 4. For comparison, other smartphones like the Samsung Galaxy S25 and Apple iPhone 17 will also be receiving software updates in the coming months.

What to expect from ColorOS 17

ColorOS 17 is expected to bring a range of new features and improvements to eligible OnePlus devices.

Users can also expect improved security and bug fixes.

For users who are unsure about the upgrade, it’s worth noting that ColorOS and OxygenOS are very similar, so the transition should be relatively seamless. However, users who prefer to stick with OxygenOS can do so, at least for the time being.
