With theAndroid 15 release datenow revealed, we can expect OEMs to follow along with their own Android versions. It seems like Oppo is the first in line to announce their upcoming Android 15-based update. Its ColorOS 15 is expected to bring new features, most of which could also be added to OnePlus’ OxygenOS. The company has now set an official date for the ColorOS 15 announcement, and here’s everything you need to know about it.
There’s not much information about the new features that ColorOS 15 may bring to the table. But we do know from previously-leaked Chinese OxygenOS beta builds that users can expect new Lockscreen customizations, improved animations, support for more apps in the dynamic island feature, and a revamped Quick Settings panel.
It’s worth noting that we still don’t have an official release date for ColorOS 15. The Weibo page translates that “will be available at ODC” but that probably doesn’t mean it will release on the same day. When released, the update will initially be China-only. That’s because OPPO usually takes its sweet time to release new updates globally, just like it did for ColorOS 14.
That said, ColorOS 15 is an exciting release for OnePlus users too, since ColorOS and OxygenOS share the same code base. Hence, expect the same new features to arrive on both ColorOS 15 and OxygenOS 15 with a few differences here and there. Not to mention, a few Android 15 features like App Archiving, partial screen recording, and other security features should also arrive in ColorOS 15.
