OnePlus 12 ColorOS 17 is now rolling out in India, about a week before the date OnePlus had announced. The company says the stable update, based on Android 17, is going out in batches. So not every phone will see it today.
OnePlus 12 ColorOS 17 rollout details
OnePlus posted a stable rollout thread on its community forum on 10 November. The post says the global rollout of ColorOS 17 has started and that it is already reaching the IN region in batches. The India build is CPH2573_17.0.0.100(EX01). OnePlus says it will post progress updates in the same thread.
The November plan in the official rollout timeline had listed 17 November for the OnePlus 12. However, the update started earlier. Also, OnePlus Pad 3 is set for 18 November, the OnePlus Open for 24 November, and the Nord 6 and Nord CE 6 for 26 November. GSMArena lists the same dates.
What is new in ColorOS 17 on the OnePlus 12
The changelog in the community post starts with a new fluid design. It adds light effects, new animations and a clock that carries across the Always-On Display, lock screen and home screen. The notification drawer and Quick Settings are also redesigned.
In addition, OnePlus lists a new rendering engine meant to make animations smoother. The full changelog is long, so check the thread for every item before you update.
How to check for the update
- Open Settings, then System and Updates, then Software update.
- If the update is available, download and install it on stable Wi-Fi.
- Back up photos and chats first, because this is a change of operating system look and feel.
Since this is a staged rollout, wait a few days if it has not reached your phone. For the wider schedule and what to do before updating, read our ColorOS 17 update guide for OnePlus phones in India. After updating, our phone battery health check steps can help you judge battery behaviour.
