Oppo’s Final Android 16 Update: The Full List of Devices Nearing End of Support
As Oppo continues to beta test its next major software release, ColorOS 16 (based on Android 16), a new report highlights a bittersweet reality for many users. While the update promises a host of new features and visual improvements, for over a dozen popular Oppo devices, it will also be their final major OS upgrade.
This means that while the devices will receive the exciting new features of Android 16, they will not be eligible for future versions like Android 17.
The End of the Road: Which Oppo Devices Stop at Android 16?
Below is an unofficial list of Oppo devices that are expected to receive ColorOS 16 as their last feature-rich update. It is important to note that this list is based on the company’s current update policy and has not been officially confirmed by Oppo.
- Oppo Reno 12 F & 12 F 4G
- Oppo Reno 11 F
- Oppo A5, A5 4G, A5 Pro, A5 Pro 4G, A5x, A5x 4G, A5 Energy
- Oppo F27 & F27 Pro+
- Oppo F25 Pro
- Oppo K12, K12x, K12 Plus

What Oppo “Final Update” Actually Means
Receiving a final OS upgrade does not mean the end of all software support. After installing ColorOS 16, these devices are expected to continue receiving crucial security updates for a period of time to protect against vulnerabilities. However, they will no longer receive new Android versions or significant feature additions.
ColorOS 16 Rollout: What We Know So Far
Oppo has already begun extensive testing of ColorOS 16, having launched a closed beta program for its flagship Find X8 series earlier this month. While an official schedule has not been released, reports suggest the stable rollout could begin for high-end models as early as next month, September 2025.
The upcoming ColorOS 16 update marks an important milestone for the Oppo ecosystem. For many, it will bring exciting new capabilities. But for owners of the devices listed above, it serves as a notice that their phones and tablets are entering the final phase of their software feature lifecycle.
