==Consumer-impact summary==

Staring from the ColorOS version 16 the company is going to make the process of unlocking bootloader more complicated and while as of now it is only going to impact users in China, there is a chance of this modification affecting global version as well, taking into consideration that EU mandates all the Android phones sold there to remove the ability of bootloader unlocking.

===adding Anti-Rollback mechanisms to devices (''2026-01-18'')===

On 18 January 2026, AdaUnlocked, a user on the XDA Forums, reported that the ColorOS 16.0.3.501 update introduces a hardware-level Anti-Rollback (ARB) mechanism for OnePlus 13/13T and 15 smartphones. Updating to the version causes the anti-rollback fuse to be blown which leads to permanent bricking of the device if any older ROM (custom or not) is flashed to it. <ref>{{Cite web |last=AdaUnlocked |date=2026-01-18 |title=General - [CRITICAL WARNING] ColorOS 16.0.3.501 Updates = PERMANENT Anti-Rollback (ARB) & Fuse Blown.
