The OnePlus 8, 8 Pro, and 8T get their first OxygenOS 12 open beta
OxygenOS 12 is a pretty controversial update for the company’s phones, and with good reason. Putting aside all thevarious bugs spotted at launch, users found themselves greeted with what essentially amounted to a ColorOS-esque skin. Despite the name, the experience resembled what usually ships on Oppo and Realme phones far more than the legacy OxygenOS look and feel. Still, OnePlus continues to push on, with the company now letting theOnePlus 8,8 Pro, and8Tusers try out its latest software through its Open Beta program.
The company took to its forums to announce that the first beta build is now out for theOnePlus 8 seriesand theOnePlus 8T. As for the changes themselves, the company has a lengthy changelog detailing most of the updates. You can probably expect plenty of Oppo-fication along with a handful of new features.
If you’re curious, here’s the full changelog:
Today’s forum posts warn of issues with the dial display disappearing from the always-on display, along with certain services and apps missing compatibility with Android 12. You might also come across other bugs — this is the very first beta build for these devices, after all, and those things are almost always bound to happen. As such, don’t install this unless you’re comfortable using potentially buggy software.
If you want to check it out on your device, you can download builds for the OnePlus 8 (India/NA), 8 Pro (India/NA), and 8T (India/NA) now. The company also has rollback packages available in case you regret this decision.
