Realme begins Android 17 rollout in China, with more phones due by December
Realme has begun releasing Android 17 for some of its phones in China.
The first model listed is the GT 8 Pro, whose rollout began on October 8, 2026.
More models are scheduled to follow in batches from October through December.
The update is part of ColorOS 17, software based on Android 17 and included in a schedule covering Realme, OPPO and OnePlus phones.
The published dates are for China, not Spain or the rest of Europe.
They mark when rollouts begin, so not every eligible phone will receive the update on that date.
The schedule may change as development progresses, and no European rollout dates are given.
Realme has begun the stable Android 17 rollout in China, starting with the GT 8 Pro on October 8, 2026.
A larger group of Realme phones is scheduled to begin receiving the update on October 16.
Further rollout starts are scheduled for November and December 2026.
The schedule is part of Oppo’s ColorOS 17 update calendar, which covers Oppo, OnePlus and Realme devices.
