OxygenOS Android 11 Open Beta 1 for OnePlus 6/6T

Hey everyone,

We are very excited to announce that we are ready to roll out the first open beta build for OxygenOS version 11 based on Android 11 for the OnePlus 6 and OnePlus 6T. Like we did with the Community Beta for the OnePlus 3/3T and OnePlus 5/5T, we’re releasing an early build for an upcoming major Android release to gather feedback before being officially released.

Please bear in mind that this is beta software and, as such, may be less stable than stable MP builds. If you are installing this build, we highly recommend you make a full system backup before proceeding.

Users who are still on OBT builds for 6/6T will receive the full update package via the OTA.Users on the latest stable build have to download and install it via the link mentioned below. Further, you’ll receive the updates for upcoming open beta builds via the OTA. But please have in mind that, once you install the Open Beta builds on your phone, future stable builds won’t be available via OTA, you’ll have to download and manually install them (the download package will be shared at the end of the OBT cycle).
