OnePlus 12
The OnePlus 12 has started receiving the ColorOS 17 update based on Android 17 in India. The rollout has begun earlier than the company’s previously announced schedule, which had listed November 17 as the expected release date for the smartphone.
The update is being distributed over the air (OTA) with firmware version CPH2573_17.0.0.100(EX01). As with other software releases, OnePlus is rolling it out in batches. This means it may take a few days or weeks before the update reaches all eligible devices.
The company has not confirmed when the update will become available in other markets.
OnePlus 12 ColorOS 17 update: What’s new
The ColorOS 17 update introduces changes to the interface, system performance and AI-powered features. One of the key additions is a redesigned visual interface supported by the new Luminous Rendering Engine. It brings updated animations, lighting effects and a fluid clock that transitions between the Always-On Display, lock screen and home screen.
The update also changes the Quick Settings panel and notification drawer. System applications receive interface updates, while a new floating-island navigation design has been introduced.
OnePlus has also upgraded its Laminar Flow Engine with improved memory management. The changes are designed to reduce interface lag and prevent applications from closing unnecessarily in the background.
New AI and security features
ColorOS 17 brings additional capabilities to Mind Space, which can now save and summarise documents and create travel maps based on trips. AI Suggest and Live Alerts have also been expanded to display information about train and flight journeys, along with Uber and Ola ride statuses.
Another addition is AI Highlights, which brings together information such as weather updates, calendar events and trending news.
The update also introduces a dedicated Translate application with real-time translation support. Users can activate translation through gestures such as triple-tapping or pinching supported earbuds.
On the security front, the software can identify AI-generated face swaps during video calls and detect AI-generated voices associated with scam calls. It also adds support for simultaneous audio playback from multiple applications.
