Oppo Rolls Out ColorOS 16 This November — Here’s Who’s Getting It Next

Thursday, 13 November 2025 at 10:27

Oppo has started pushing ColorOS 16, its latest Android 16-based software, and the November rollout is officially underway. Some flagship models already got it, while others are still waiting their turn. If you’ve been refreshing your update screen lately — you’re not alone.

Flagships First, Naturally

The rollout actually started a bit earlier than expected. On November 6, Oppo released ColorOS 16 for its premium lineup — the Find N5, Find X8, and Find X8 Pro. Then, about a week later, the update hit foldables and tablets, including the Find N3, Find N3 Flip, and Oppo Pad 3 Pro.

Not everyone got it on day one. Oppo tends to release in waves, so depending on your country or carrier, it might take a few more days. Many users in Asia report it already arrived over the air — Europe should be next.

November’s Eligible Devices

This month’s list is pretty long, though Oppo hinted it’s not final. More devices are expected to join before the end of the month. For now, here’s what’s confirmed:

Oppo Reno 14 Pro 5G
Oppo Reno 14 5G
Oppo Reno 14 Diwali Edition
Oppo Reno 14F 5G
Oppo Reno 13 Pro 5G
Oppo Reno 13 5G
Oppo Reno 13F 5G
Oppo Pad 3 Pro

The Reno 14 lineup is expected to get it around mid-November, followed by the Reno 13 series later in the month.

What’s Actually New

ColorOS 16 isn’t just a visual refresh. Oppo redesigned plenty of small details — smoother transitions, softer animations, and quicker app switching. It feels lighter, snappier.

More interestingly, AI is everywhere. There’s smarter image editing, improved context detection, and automatic system tweaks that learn your habits. Even multitasking on foldables feels more natural now. Privacy also got a boost, with tighter background app control and new permission alerts.

The update is big — around 4GB depending on model — so make sure to back up and plug in before starting.

Why It Matters

For Oppo, this update is part of a bigger shift. The company has been quietly improving its update reliability, something many Android users have complained about for years. The ColorOS 16 rollout suggests Oppo’s finally on track to deliver consistent, timely updates — not just to its top-end phones but to mid-rangers too.

If the company keeps this pace, it could earn more long-term trust from users who’ve often jumped to Samsung or OnePlus for faster updates.
