OnePlus 15 Gets ColorOS 17.0.1.201 Update in India: November Security Patch and New Features
OnePlus has started rolling out a second ColorOS 17 update for the OnePlus 15 in India. The OnePlus 15 ColorOS 17.0.1.201 update brings the November 2026 Android security patch along with a bundle of small but useful improvements — from smarter photo tools to new Home screen widgets and a handy PC connection upgrade. The rollout is phased, so it may take a week or two before it reaches every phone.
What’s new in the OnePlus 15 ColorOS 17.0.1.201 update
The update is identified by the build number CPH2745_17.0.1.201(EX01) and is currently rolling out to OnePlus 15 users in India only. OnePlus says availability in other regions could follow later, as it did with the first stable ColorOS 17 release. As always with a staged rollout, checking manually is the fastest way to see if it has arrived on your phone: head to Settings > System & update > Software update. (via The Tech Outlook)
Photos, Fluid Cloud and widgets get smarter
The Photos app gains two practical upgrades. When you save an edit, you can now choose the image quality and resolution, giving you more control over the final file. And once your photos are backed up to the cloud, you can remove the local copies to reclaim storage space while keeping the full backup safe online.
Fluid Cloud cards on the lock screen and in the notification drawer get a translucent gradient effect for a cleaner look. The Home screen picks up new widgets too: 2×1 and 2×4 “One-tap boost” and “Storage cleaner” widgets, a 2×1 “Battery usage” widget, and 2×1 and 2×2 contacts widgets — all of which can be resized by long-pressing and dragging their edges.
Calculator, Translate and O+ Connect improvements
The Calculator now shows your calculation history on its home screen so you can resume earlier sums, and its conversion page has better-organised categories. The Translate app gets richer word lookups, with parts of speech, phonetic transcriptions, key grammar points and example sentences, while sentence translations now adapt to the appropriate writing style.
O+ Connect can now link your phone and tablet to the same PC at the same time, and a new “Automatically unlock when connected” option unlocks your PC with a saved password while it is remotely connected to your phone.
Two handy extras and the November security patch in the OnePlus 15 ColorOS 17.0.1.201 update
A new “Announce incoming calls” feature speaks the caller’s name when a call comes in — find it in the Phone app under Settings > Incoming call reminders. And if you use hidden apps, a new “Return to Home screen when exiting” switch takes you straight back to the Home screen when you leave one. Under the hood, the update integrates the November 2026 Android security patch.
OSee also gains the ability to scan WeChat Mini Program codes and launch mini programs directly in WeChat.
A quick refresher on the OnePlus 15
The OnePlus 15 launched globally earlier this month with a 165Hz display, a 7,300mAh battery and Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chip. In India it was listed at Rs 72,999 (as reported at launch). If you own one, this update is worth installing — not for one headline feature, but for the steady polish across the apps you use every day.
The update is rolling out now in India, so check Settings if it has not arrived yet. We will update this post if OnePlus confirms dates for other regions.
