Most major OnePlus phones released in 2025 are either officially confirmed or effectively guaranteed to receive Android 17. OnePlus 15 already has an official Android 17 Beta 3 build, while OnePlus 13, OnePlus 13R, Nord 5 and Nord CE5 include Android 17 within their published multi-version update commitments.
The less certain models are OnePlus 13s and OnePlus 15R. Both are strong candidates, but OnePlus has not yet published the same model-specific Android 17 confirmation for them. This PhonesGate tracker separates official beta support, guaranteed upgrades and editorial expectations so buyers can see exactly what is known.
Quick answer
- OnePlus 15: Android 17 Beta 3 officially available.
- OnePlus 13 and 13R: Android 17 guaranteed within four major Android upgrades.
- OnePlus Nord 5 and Nord CE5: Android 17 guaranteed within four Android version updates.
- OnePlus 13s: strongly expected, but not separately confirmed for Android 17.
- OnePlus 15R: strongly expected; long security support is official, but the full Android-version policy still needs clearer confirmation.

Key takeaway
See which OnePlus phones released in 2025 are confirmed, guaranteed or expected to receive Android 17, including OnePlus 15, 13 series and Nord 5 models.
Beta availability and stable rollout timing can vary by region. A developer beta is not the same as a stable public release.
OnePlus 15 is first in line
OnePlus has published Android 17 Beta 3 for the OnePlus 15 global model. The company describes it as an early build for developers and advanced users who need to test applications against the upcoming Android version.

That means OnePlus 15 is not merely expected to receive Android 17—it is already running official pre-release software. However, the beta can contain bugs, incompatible applications and stability problems. Owners should not treat it as a routine OTA update for a primary phone.
OnePlus 13 and 13R are guaranteed Android 17
OnePlus has confirmed that OnePlus 13 and OnePlus 13R will receive four major Android updates: Android 16, Android 17, Android 18 and Android 19. Both phones launched with Android 15, so Android 17 is explicitly inside the promised support window.
The same commitment includes six years of security updates. This makes the OnePlus 13 series one of the clearest entries in the tracker: users do not need to rely on a rumour or an eligibility estimate.
Nord 5 and Nord CE5 also have strong support
OnePlus officially advertises four Android version updates and six years of security support for both Nord 5 and Nord CE5. Because the phones launched with Android 15, the promised sequence covers Android 16, 17, 18 and 19.
This is particularly notable for Nord CE5. Mid-range and lower-cost phones often receive shorter support than flagships, but OnePlus has given these two models a policy that clearly includes Android 17.
Why OnePlus 13s remains expected rather than confirmed
OnePlus 13s launched in 2025 with Android 15 and has continued receiving OxygenOS updates. Its premium hardware and close relationship to the OnePlus 13 family make Android 17 highly likely.
Still, PhonesGate has not found a model-specific official statement that lists the complete Android upgrade sequence for OnePlus 13s. Until OnePlus publishes that commitment or opens Android 17 testing for the device, the accurate label is strongly expected.
OnePlus 15R should receive it, but the policy needs clarity
OnePlus 15R launched with Android 16 and OxygenOS 16, making Android 17 the natural next platform update. OnePlus also lists UK security support for the model through 31 December 2031.
That long support window is encouraging, but a security-support end date does not automatically confirm the number of major Android upgrades. Android 17 is therefore expected, but not yet listed in this article as formally guaranteed.
What Android 17 could mean for OnePlus phones
The final OnePlus experience will depend on how Android 17 is integrated into OxygenOS. Likely areas of improvement include:
- stronger privacy and security controls;
- better background-process management;
- refined large-screen and multitasking behaviour;
- smoother system animations and app transitions;
- updated developer APIs and application compatibility;
- new OxygenOS-specific productivity and AI refinements.
Features can differ by model because processor capabilities, memory, region and local services affect eligibility.
Should you install the beta?
Most users should wait for the stable release. Developer betas can require manual installation, may erase data and can break banking apps, cameras, connectivity or other essential functions.
Install it only when:
- you understand rollback and backup procedures;
- the phone is not your only essential device;
- you need to test an application or Android 17 compatibility;
- you accept that the build may be unstable.
PhonesGate take
OnePlus has a clearer Android 17 story than many competing brands. It has already opened official testing for OnePlus 15, while published upgrade commitments guarantee Android 17 for OnePlus 13, 13R, Nord 5 and Nord CE5.
The remaining weakness is consistency. OnePlus 13s and 15R are obvious candidates, but buyers should not have to infer major-version support from hardware tier or security dates. OnePlus would improve trust by publishing one global eligibility table covering every model and region.
Final verdict
For 2025 OnePlus buyers, Android 17 support is strongest on OnePlus 15, OnePlus 13, OnePlus 13R, Nord 5 and Nord CE5. The first already has an official beta, while the other four include Android 17 inside their published upgrade promises.
OnePlus 13s and 15R should also receive the update, but they remain classified as expected until OnePlus provides a clearer model-specific commitment.
