Oppo Says ColorOS 17 Skips Major Redesign, Rejecting Apple Liquid Glass Copy Claims

Summary
Chen Xi said ColorOS 17 will prioritize core user-experience improvements rather than a major visual overhaul, directly undercutting rumors that Oppo would mirror Apple's Liquid Glass style.
The ColorOS design director also said new features are being postponed, though he did not say whether they would arrive in a later 17.x update or wait for ColorOS 18.
Apple's interface had been central to the speculation because a China rumor claimed ColorOS 17 would borrow multiple Liquid Glass elements while using less transparency than iOS 26.
Oppo, for now, is distancing itself from that direction even as Chen suggested some rivals may still be pursuing Apple-like design cues.
