Oppo is about to launch the next version of its software skin, ColorOS 14. But when will the new version launch for Oppo phones? Oppo is yet to reveal anything officially about the launch date. Let’s talk about the ColorOS 14 release date here.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Oppo hasn’t revealed the official release date of ColorOS 14.
- ColorOS 14 launch will follow the official launch of Android 14.
- Google will launch Android 14 anytime now. But it could reveal it with the Pixel 8 series launch on October 4.
ColorOS 14 Release Date
ColorOS versions are tied to Android versions; even the version numbers are now the same. ColorOS 14 will be announced officially after the official launch of Android 14.
Google is set to announce Android 14 any day now. Usually, Google launches new Android versions usually in August, September, or October. August is already finished; we’re in the middle of September. Android 14 should be released anytime soon.
But as Google has announced the Pixel 8 series launch for October 4, we think Google might be launching Android 14 along with the Pixel 8 series at a single launch event. But we’re not clear if that’s happening for sure.
We will wait for the launch of Android 14 first; then, we will get to know when ColorOS 14 officially drops.
One more thing.
Oppo phones won’t get the ColorOS 14 update along with the launch of ColorOS 14. Oppo will take its time to roll out the update to various Oppo phones. Check out our ColorOS 14 update tracker to be informed about that.
