In the wake of the global restructuring announced by the OPPO group, the end of the Realme UI skin is now official. While every future smartphone from the brand will ship straight out of the box with ColorOS, what happens to the devices already out there?
Realme has confirmed that its existing compatible models will receive the major ColorOS 17 update (based on Android 17). Drawing on the manufacturer’s official software support policy, here is the full list of smartphones and tablets that are expected to move over to OPPO’s system.
A seamless transition for users
Long-time fans of the brand can relax: moving from Realme UI to ColorOS won’t be a shock, either visually or in day-to-day use. The two interfaces have in fact shared the same code base for several years already.
Unifying everything under ColorOS 17 does bring real benefits, though:
- Access to features and customisation options previously reserved for OPPO’s high-end smartphones.
- Faster, better optimised security updates thanks to the centralisation of the development teams.

Timing and rollout
Realme has yet to specify exactly when the rollout waves will begin. Unsurprisingly, ColorOS 17 will debut first on OPPO’s new high-end models before being pushed out gradually across the Realme line-up.
This software switch confirms the group’s intention to streamline its ecosystem and deliver stronger long-term support. We’ll keep our community posted on the rollout dates, model by model. You’ll find Oppo phones in our shop, along with an Oppo wallet case to go with them.
