OnePlus 15 and Oppo Find X9 Pro Are First Non‑Pixel Phones With Android 17 Beta 2

Early vendor participation signals testing that could smooth later stable updates.

Overview

  • OnePlus and Oppo released installable Android 17 Beta 2 for the OnePlus 15 and Find X9 Pro, limited to unlocked models with carrier‑locked units not supported.
  • Installing the beta wipes all data on the phone, so users need a full backup before they begin.
  • Reported problems include screen flicker, frequent crashes, unstable system and third‑party apps, broken Google Cast, and touch freezes on the Oppo build.
  • The companies say these builds are for developers and warn that mistakes during install can brick the device.
  • Most users will see a stable Android 17 in Q2 from Google, with OxygenOS and ColorOS updates from OnePlus and Oppo likely arriving later.
