With Android 17 Beta officially out for Pixel devices, smartphone manufacturers are launching their own closed beta testing programs. Oppo announced the ColorOS 17 CBT for certain Oppo, OnePlus and Realme devices. This comes after Realme officially confirmed that moving forward, all Realme phones will be running ColorOS. The same goes for OnePlus phones, where they still sell.
So if you are a OnePlus or Realme user who wants to take an early taste of ColorOS 17, or you just want to try out the latest OS on your Oppo flagship, then you need to be quick.
The application window for the global market is only two days – August 6-7, and the cap is 300 people per device. Check out the table below for eligible devices and slot availability.

If you want to apply, make sure to back up all your important data as ColorOS 17 CBT isn’t meant for the broad user base, as it’s highly unstable. In any case, here’s how to apply:
Go to Settings > About Device (or System Update) > tap on the three dots > Beta Program (or Trial Version) > Closed Beta / CBT Recruitment.
