Key AI additions include "AI Mind Pilot" and "AI Photo Agent." The update also introduces "Flow" design elements, described as a "Liquid Glass copy," with a "Luminous Rendering Engine" that powers animations responsive to touch. Oppo states that ColorOS 17 offers 55% more stable app launches and 25% better app retention in memory.
OnePlus Devices to Adopt ColorOS 17
OnePlus devices will also receive the Android 17 update, but it will be delivered as Oppo's ColorOS 17, replacing OxygenOS. This change follows OnePlus's withdrawal from the global market in July, though the company committed to continued software support for existing devices.
The transition to ColorOS for OnePlus devices is scheduled to begin later this month. Differences between OxygenOS and ColorOS have become minimal over time, as Oppo's software styling had already influenced OnePlus's experience.
