Summary
OnePlus has started a closed ColorOS beta in India for the OnePlus 15 and 15R, giving a limited group early access ahead of any wider rollout.
300 slots were offered for the OnePlus 15, with Android Authority reporting another 300 for the 15R; applicants needed Indian-variant devices, a OnePlus Community account and the required software build.
OnePlus warned the beta is not meant for daily reliability, citing possible crashes, unresponsive apps and compatibility issues, and told testers to keep regular backups.
The rollout turns OnePlus's planned move from OxygenOS to Oppo's ColorOS into a live test, part of a strategy to combine engineering resources and speed future updates.
No stable-release timetable has been announced, leaving open how migration, device management, interface changes and long-term update policies will work beyond this small India-first trial.
