The wait for Android 17 is almost over for OnePlus 12 owners, with the ColorOS 17 update set to begin on November 17.
That date comes from a November schedule OnePlus posted on its community forum on November 4, and Oppo’s ColorOS Global account shared the same list on X a day later, covering six phones and tablets due for the update.
The OnePlus 13R became the first device on this list to receive the software on November 5, and it follows the current OnePlus 15 flagship, which received ColorOS 17 at the end of October.
This move to ColorOS 17 carries more weight than a typical annual update, as the Android 17 release will retire the OxygenOS name and move OnePlus devices to the same software that Oppo already ships on its own phones.
Owners of older OnePlus hardware will see the change arrive gradually over the month, and the OnePlus Pad 3 tablet will arrive on November 18, a day after the OnePlus 12 receives the update.
The OnePlus Open, the company’s first foldable and now three years old, comes next on November 24, and the mid-range Nord 6 and Nord CE 6 round out the November schedule together on November 26.
These dates mark the start of the rollout of each device rather than a single release day, as OnePlus distributes ColorOS 17 in stages and notes that the timing may vary by region and model.
This staggered approach means that some OnePlus 13R owners are still waiting for the update, even though the listed date of the handset has already passed, as is usual for a staged release that reaches a small number of users first.
Over this month, OnePlus has a longer queue of devices still waiting, with the OnePlus 11, OnePlus 12R and Nord 5 among the models expected to receive ColorOS 17 in December.
Another wave covers budget and older hardware in the first quarter of 2027, and the Nord 4 and Pad Lite sit in that group, which turns November into the middle stage of a rollout over several months.
The ColorOS 17 update is free for all eligible devices, and owners of the OnePlus 12, Pad 3, Open, Nord 6 and Nord CE 6 can expect it to arrive between November 17 and 26.
