These OnePlus devices won’t get OxygenOS 17 (Android 17) update: Here’s the full list
March 20, 2026 – With OxygenOS 16 (based on Android 16) now rolling out widely across OnePlus devices, attention is shifting to the next major upgrade: OxygenOS 17, built on Android 17. While flagship models like the OnePlus 13 series, OnePlus 12 series, and newer Nord devices are set to receive the update, several popular older phones and tablets are expected to be left behind.
OnePlus has improved its update policy in recent years, offering up to 4 major Android OS upgrades plus extended security patches for newer flagships and select mid-rangers. However, devices launched before 2023 or with shorter promised support cycles are reaching the end of their major update lifecycle.
Based on recent reports, update trackers, community discussions, and OnePlus's software commitment patterns, here is the compiled list of devices unlikely to receive OxygenOS 17 (Android 17). Note that this is based on unofficial but consistent sources as of March 2026—official confirmation from OnePlus may vary slightly by region.
OnePlus Devices Not Eligible for OxygenOS 17
Flagship Series
- OnePlus 11R
- OnePlus 10R
- OnePlus 10T
- OnePlus 10 Pro
- Older flagship models (OnePlus 9 series and earlier)
Nord Series
- OnePlus Nord 3
- Older Nord models (Nord 2T, Nord 2, etc.)
Nord CE Series
- OnePlus Nord CE 4
- OnePlus Nord CE 4 Lite
- Older Nord CE models (Nord CE 3 Lite, CE 3, etc.)
Pad Series (Tablets)
- OnePlus Pad (1st generation)
- OnePlus Pad Go
Why These Devices Are Excluded
Most of these models were launched with promises of 2–3 major OS updates:
- The OnePlus 10 series and 11R typically topped out at Android 15 or 16.
- Mid-range Nord and Nord CE lines often receive fewer major upgrades (2–3 years), so devices like the Nord 3 and CE 4 reach their limit at Android 16 (OxygenOS 16).
- Older tablets like the original OnePlus Pad were promised shorter support windows compared to newer Pad models (e.g., Pad 2 or Pad 3, which are expected to go further).
If your device launched with OxygenOS 13 (Android 13) or earlier and wasn't upgraded to a longer policy later, it's almost certainly stopping before Android 17.
What About Newer Devices?
For reference, devices confirmed or highly likely to get OxygenOS 17 include:
- OnePlus 15 / 15R
- OnePlus 13 / 13R / 13s / 13T
- OnePlus 12 / 12R
- OnePlus 11
- OnePlus Open
- OnePlus Nord 4 / Nord 5 / Nord CE 5 (and newer)
- Newer Pad models (Pad 2 and later)
If your phone isn't on the ineligible list above and falls into the newer categories, you're probably good to go when OxygenOS 17 begins rolling out (expected later in 2026).
Final Thoughts
If you're using one of the devices on this ineligible list and want the latest features, AI enhancements, and security improvements coming with Android 17, it might be time to consider upgrading. OnePlus continues to prioritize longer support for its recent flagships and select mid-rangers, so newer models offer significantly better longevity.
