How to Apply for the Beta Program?
Before applying, the device must have the most up-to-date software version. Oppo users can access the Beta Program option by entering the About Device section from the Settings menu and tapping on the top of the page.
The process proceeds similarly on OnePlus devices: access to the beta program is provided via Settings, About Device, and the three-dot icon in the upper right corner. Realme users complete registration by tapping the Up to date option in the About Device menu and using the icon in the upper right corner.
The companies state that the beta versions are close to the stable version, but some features may experience performance issues or incomplete functionality.
How This Affects You
If you own a model on the list and are located in an access region, you can try the new interface before the stable version by applying until October 12. Since bugs and performance issues can be seen in beta versions, you must consider this before installing it on your main device for daily use.
If you are using a model not on the list, you will need to wait for the stable version of ColorOS 17 according to the schedule to be announced after the global launch on October 13.
When is the Global Launch?
The official global launch of ColorOS 17 will take place on October 13. After this date, the schedule regarding which devices will receive the stable version and when will become clear.
The companies state that bugs detected during the beta process will be fixed with subsequent updates and the user experience will be improved until the stable version.
