This list is not final, as the official list of Oppo devices eligible for the Android 15 upgrade is yet to be released. However, given the known software update policy for most devices, it was relatively straightforward to compile this preliminary list.
Oppo has committed to providing four Android upgrades for its flagship phones launched in 2023 and later. Devices launched before 2023 will get three Android upgrades.
Software Update Policy
Mid-range Oppo phones from the Reno, F, K, and Find Lite/Neo series will receive two major Android updates. Budget A-series phones will mostly get one upgrade, although some may receive two major OS updates.
If your Oppo device isn't listed, don't fret. Wait for the official list, as Oppo may add more devices for the upgrade. You can then decide whether you need to upgrade to a newer model.
When Will Oppo Start Rolling Out the Android 15 Update?
Android 15 is still in development, with the stable release expected around October, similar to last year's Android 14. Post-release, smartphone manufacturers usually take a few weeks to optimize their custom skins (ColorOS for Oppo) to work with the new Android OS.
Thanks to the beta program, not every Oppo user has to wait until the official release to explore new features. The Android 15 beta is already available for Oppo Find N3 and Find X7, giving users an early look at the new OS. More devices will join the beta program as time progresses. If you plan to install the beta, be aware that these builds might contain bugs and missing features.
Last year, Oppo began rolling out the stable Android 14 update to eligible devices in November. We expect a similar timeline for the Android 15 rollout this year.
Flagship phones will be the first to receive the new OS, followed by mid-range and budget devices.
Android 15: What to Expect?
While Android 15 may not introduce a significant UI redesign, it offers many exciting features. One of the biggest changes is the addition of satellite connectivity support, allowing you to text even without nearby cell towers. Unlike Apple iPhones, this feature on Android won't be limited to emergency use.
The new OS also enhances the Find My Phone feature, helping you locate your lost phone and assist others in finding theirs. All Android 15 devices can ping each other via Bluetooth, contributing to the network.
Android 15 introduces App Archiving, allowing you to save storage by uninstalling apps while retaining user data. When you reinstall the archived app, you can pick up where you left off without losing any data.
Another useful feature is partial screen-sharing, which lets you share or record a single app instead of your entire screen. The "Notification cooldown" feature reduces the volume of consecutive notifications from the same app.
