OnePlus is effectively dead in most of the world, but software updates will continue. They just won’t be the same, as OxygenOS is going away and will instead be replaced by ColorOS.
OnePlus officially shuts down in the US and Europe, but not India (yet)
As a part of its shutdown in global regions, OnePlus has confirmed that its flavor of Android, OxygenOS, is going away. Instead, all active OnePlus devices will be moving over to Oppo’s ColorOS starting with their Android 17 updates. This includes in India, where OnePlus is adamant it will continue operations – reliable reporting disagrees.
OnePlus explains:
As part of an operational adjustment to our software strategy, following the official release of ColorOS 17, users globally with existing OnePlus devices that fall within the eligible upgrade scope will have the option to voluntarily update to the latest ColorOS. This enables us to streamline software development, accelerate update delivery, improve software quality, and make better use of our shared engineering and R&D capabilities.
