Wondering what's new in the latest Open Beta? You're in the right place.
There are a lot of reasons to like OnePlus phones, but one aspect that's remained since the beginning is the excellent software experience they offer. All OnePlus phones now run OxygenOS, and if you want to test out new software features before anyone else, you can sign up for the OxygenOS Open Beta.
OnePlus updates the Open Beta quite frequently, with each new version including bug fixes, security patches, and feature galore.
To make sure you never miss a beat, here's everything new in the beta right now.
July 3, 2018 — Project Treble and a new UI come to the OnePlus 5 and 5T!
Open Beta 13 and 11 for the OnePlus 5 and 5T is rolling out to users now, and it certainly sounds like one of the most exciting upgrades we've seen in a while.
Right off the bat, this Open Beta brings Project Treble support to both phones. This is the new update system from Google that allows for much faster turnaound times with new software, so it's great to see that it's making an appearance with the 5 series.
Some other big highlights include "a brand new user interface" for the phones and "supported accent colors" (some users think this means support for custom colors, but we aren't entirely sure quite yet).
Here are some of the other goodies you'll find:
- Improved search tags in the app drawer.
- A "New installs" category tag in the app drawer.
- Improved app list for hidden space and toolbox.
- Optimized log for the contacts page (Phone app).
- Brand new design + improved user experience for the Weather app and all forecasts are now integrated under a single interface leading to a fully immersive experience.
As always, Open Beta 13 and 11 are rolling out to users incrementally right now and will expand to everyone enrolled in the beta over the next few days.
June 13, 2018 — OnePlus 5/5T and 3/3T get June 2018 Android security patch and camera enhancements
There's a new Open Beta in town for the OnePlus 5, 5T, 3, and 3T! Here's what you need to know!
For all four phones, you'll get the June 2018 Android security patch and bug fixes for the OnePlus Switch app.
Specifically for the 5 and 5T, there's "camera clarity improvement and optimizations to reduce 'oil painting effect.'"
How do you install the Open Beta?
If you've got a OnePlus phone, enrolling in the Open Beta is fairly simple.
You'll need to manually download the latest available version for your device from OnePlus's website and sideload it, but once you do this, any future versions will be sent to you as over-the-air updates.
Harish wrote up a step-by-step guide walking you through the whole process, and I highly recommend checking it out to ensure nothing goes haywire.
