Expected Release Timeline
OnePlus's progress on Android 17 mirrors last year's schedule.
The company skipped the first developer preview and released Beta 2 in April, followed by another beta in May.
These early builds do not include the new OxygenOS skin, which typically arrives around October when the software nears public release.
Since stable Android 17 is expected in June, OnePlus may follow a similar pattern.
The OxygenOS 17 beta program could start in October, with the stable rollout likely beginning in early November.
