OnePlus Opens 300-Slot ColorOS Beta for 15 and 15R in India

Summary
OnePlus has launched its first global closed beta for ColorOS on the OnePlus 15 and 15R, but only Indian variants can apply, with 300 tester slots for each model.
The move marks the clearest start of OnePlus' shift away from OxygenOS after its exit from the US and European smartphone markets; Android 17 is expected in the beta build.
Applications run from Aug. 6 to Aug. 7 through the OnePlus Community, and testers must own Indian devices, sign an NDA, and join a Telegram group tied to the software team.
OnePlus says the build is early and bug-prone, with automatic overnight updates and data-sharing programs enabled, while banning users from posting screenshots, benchmarks, or update files.
US, EU, and other global models are excluded for now, and OnePlus has given no timeline for broader beta access or a wider rollout beyond India.
