OnePlus smartphones generally have three streams of software updates: Closed Beta, Open Beta, and Stable. Closed Beta builds of OxygenOS are available for a limited number of testers, while the Open Betas are published on the company’s forums for anyone to install. Both of these builds are used for testing to iron out bugs and other issues, along with introducing new features. Finally, Stable builds are a culmination of all of the features and bug fixes after the Closed and Open Betas have run their course.
Over the last few years, Google has continued to work closely with OEMs in an attempt to get major version updates out to devices as quickly as possible. OnePlus is one of the smartphone manufacturers that regularly partners with Google to get early versions of Android running on some of its latest devices. Such pre-release builds are usually made available through a special “Developer Preview” program, which is separate from the regular OxygenOS update channels.
The manual OTA installation process is mostly identical for different update streams. However, it may slightly vary across regional and carrier variants of OnePlus smartphones.
