Oppo has expanded the ColorOS 17 closed beta program to additional devices, giving more users a chance to test the next major software update before its public release.
The expansion follows last month's announcement that eligible OnePlus and Realme smartphones will transition to ColorOS starting with Android 17, replacing OxygenOS and Realme UI in future releases.

- OnePlus 15
- OnePlus 15R

Interested users must submit their applications before the deadline, complete a qualification quiz, and may need to sign a non-disclosure agreement before receiving the beta firmware.
Since this is an early log build, Oppo advises against installing it on a primary device because the software is expected to contain bugs and stability issues.

Users who rely on a single smartphone are better off waiting for a newer beta build or the public beta release.
The move reflects Oppo's plan to unify software development across Oppo, OnePlus, and Realme, which could lead to faster updates, quicker bug fixes, and a more consistent software experience.
What to Expect from ColorOS 17
While Oppo has yet to officially detail all of ColorOS 17's features, early beta information suggests the update will introduce a refreshed visual design with new lighting animations, illuminated edge effects, enhanced blur elements, redesigned rounded UI components, and smoother transition animations.
