Android 18 Arrives for 2024+ OnePlus Phones as ColorOS Replaces OxygenOS

Android 18 is expected mid-2027 and should land on OnePlus devices released in 2024 and later (including OnePlus 12, 13-series, Nord 4–6, Nord CE 5–6, and the 16-series; Nord 7 and possibly 17 may also qualify). Even after OnePlus exits the U.S. market, after-sales support and warranties will continue in Europe/North America. OxygenOS will be replaced by ColorOS across OnePlus devices, with beta access limited due to the market exit. Typical update patterns remain: about four major Android updates and roughly five to six years of security patches for flagship/midrange devices, while budget Nord N models get about a year of updates and two to three years of patches.

OnePlus Exits US and Canada as Official Store Sells Out

OnePlus has effectively pulled out of the US and Canada after announcing it would exit North American and European markets; the official OnePlus store now has no phones or tablets in stock, with the OnePlus 15 and 15R sold out and the site largely barren.

OnePlus Keeps Security Pledges Amid Market Retreat and ColorOS Shift

OnePlus is withdrawing from North America and Europe this year to focus on Asia/India, but says it will honor its software support promises via warranties and OnePlus Care. It will transition from OxygenOS to ColorOS 17, with the option to roll back to OxygenOS 16 when a rollback tool is available. Android 17 is rolling out for flagships since the OnePlus 11, with model-by-model timelines: 11 security through Feb 2028; 12R OS through Jan 2027 and security through Jan 2028; 12 OS through Jan 2028 and security through Jan 2029; 13/13R through Jan 2029 with security through Jan 2031; 15/15R through Nov 2029 with security through Nov 2031. Nord devices released in NA are no longer supported. There have been regulatory inquiries into privacy and past vulnerabilities (notably a late-2024 OxygenOS flaw), which color the safety discussion, but overall the company promises continued updates for several years.
