Oppo: Rename a Paired Bluetooth Device

When your Oppo phone's Bluetooth list fills up with entries like 'Speaker' or 'Headset-XYZ123', picking out the right device becomes a guessing game. ColorOS displays the broadcast name sent by the accessory itself, not a name you chose. Renaming the paired entry lets you tell devices apart at a glance, especially once you have several speakers, earbuds, or car systems saved.

Rename a Paired Bluetooth Device auf Oppo

Every Bluetooth accessory sends its own broadcast name during pairing, and ColorOS simply displays whatever the manufacturer set at the factory. That is why speakers, earbuds, or car kits often show cryptic model numbers instead of something you would recognize. Renaming the entry in your phone's Bluetooth list fixes this locally without touching the accessory itself.

Open Tap on SettingsTap on BluetoothSelect a Paired deviceTap on Device nameEnter a Name and tap on Save. The new label appears immediately in your paired devices list and in any future connection notifications.

The rename only changes how your Oppo phone displays that connection. If the same accessory is also paired with another phone or tablet, it will still show its original broadcast name there, since the change is not written back to the accessory's firmware.

If the device keeps reverting to its old name after a restart, or the field will not save, the accessory itself may be resetting its Bluetooth profile. In that case, unpair and re-pair the device before renaming it again.

Frequently asked questions

No. The new name only applies inside your Oppo phone's Bluetooth list. Other phones or tablets paired with the same accessory keep seeing its original broadcast name, since the accessory's own name is not modified.
