According to Oppo, the ColorOS 17 closed beta testing program for Android 17 has officially launched for global users across select Oppo, OnePlus, and Realme devices, following Google’s rollout of the Android 17 Beta for Pixel hardware. Realme has confirmed that all future Realme phones will run ColorOS, aligning with the software strategy used for OnePlus devices in regions where they are sold.
Global Application Windows and Device Eligibility
Oppo has capped the global closed beta testing program at 300 participants per eligible device model. According to company release schedules, the application window runs for two days, from August 6 to August 7.
The initial device lineup for the recruitment phase includes:
- OnePlus 15: India region (Live, August 6–August 7, 300 slots)

Pro Tip: Closed beta builds are designed for testing and development purposes rather than daily use. Testers should back up all phone data before applying, as early system software can experience instability or data loss.
How to Apply for the ColorOS 17 Beta Program
Users who meet the device requirements can apply directly through the system settings menu on their supported hardware. According to Oppo’s software deployment guidelines, the registration path requires navigating to Settings > About Device (or System Update), tapping the three dots in the corner, selecting Beta Program (or Trial Version), and opting into Closed Beta / CBT Recruitment.
