OnePlus sets Android 17 rollout dates, but there's a bigger change coming -- it's dropping OxygenOS entirely as ColorOS 17 heads to OnePlus 13R, OnePlus 12, and OnePlus Pad 3

OnePlus has outlined its rollout plans for the upcoming Android 17 release, but the update comes alongside a massive shift in the brand's software strategy. Moving forward, the company is reportedly dropping its signature OxygenOS branding entirely.

In its place, OnePlus hardware will run ColorOS 17 natively. Key devices expected to transition to the new operating system experience include flagship and mid-range options like the OnePlus 12 and OnePlus 13R, as well as the OnePlus Pad 3 tablet.

This move marks a major turning point for long-time OnePlus users, deepening the software alignment between OnePlus and Oppo by retiring the independent OxygenOS identity.
