Even if Oppo will not actually release ColorOS 15 on October 17, it’s safe to assume that a wider rollout will happen in the next few weeks following the conference.
Obviously, that’s only valid for the Chinese release, as the global rollout might take months to happen. Usually, Oppo rolls out major Android OS updates in China first, and then in the rest of the world at the beginning of the next year.
ColorOS 15 might follow the same pattern, so Chinese customers might get the update in October-November, while the rest of world should start receiving the software upgrade sometime in January-February 2025.
According to the teaser released by Oppo, the upcoming ColorOS 15 update will focus on AI. Based on Android 15, ColorOS 15 will introduce many AI tools, apps and functionalities meant to streamline user experience.
If not, the Find X8 phones will probably be among the first to receive the ColorOS 15 update, at least in China. As we previously reported, Oppo’s upcoming flagships are said to pack MediaTek’s unannounced Dimensity 9400 chipset.
Also, at least one of the phones will feature satellite communication, a feature that’s becoming more common for flagships. Oppo has yet to confirm a launch date for its Find X8 series, so stay tuned for more on the matter.
