ColorOS 17 in India: the November batch opened with the Oppo F35 Pro on Nov. 4, and these Oppo, OnePlus and Realme phones follow
ColorOS 17, based on Android 17, began reaching phones in India on Oct. 23, ahead of the Oct. 29 and 30 dates on the schedules. Oppo India opened the November batch on Nov. 4 with the F35 Pro, and the OnePlus 13R got its build early, on Oct. 27. The batch covers 24 Oppo devices, six from OnePlus and 13 from Realme, and the rest of it had no confirmed day as of Nov. 4, because the brands give a month, not a day. The schedules run into the first quarter of 2027. OnePlus and Realme move their phones to ColorOS from Android 17 on, in place of OxygenOS and Realme UI, and OnePlus calls the switch voluntary. The update is free.

Oppo publishes its whole schedule on its India page. The OnePlus and Realme lists below come from press copies of each brand’s published schedule, because their own pages wouldn’t load for us.

How do you install ColorOS 17?
Open Settings and find Software update once your batch reaches you. On OnePlus, it sits under System & update. The update is free, and the batches run over weeks, so a neighbor’s phone can get it first. OnePlus calls the switch voluntary and offers a rollback to OxygenOS, which wipes the phone, so back up before you install.
This page is updated as soon as each November phone gets its build, or Oppo, OnePlus or Realme changes a batch or publishes a day for the December phones.
