Owners of a OnePlus 5 and OnePlus 5T can download the latest beta this week, bringing their phones up to Android 8.1, otherwise known OxygenOS Open Beta 6 for the OP5 and Open Beta 4 for the OP5T.
Besides the bump to Android 8.1 OnePlus is incorporating its new auto pick up gesture, which can answer an incoming call by raising the phone. On top of that, both phones will get the February Android security patch, new optimizations for the Gaming Mode, as well as OnePlus Switch.
If you want to try the latest beta, here’s how it works.
If you’re already opted into the Open Beta, you’ll receive this update as an OTA. If you’re not in the beta, you’ll need to flash the beta build, with full instructions and downloads here. Once in the beta, you’ll continue to receive updates from the beta. If you want to exit the beta, you’ll need to wipe your phone and install a public version.
Hurry up, OEMs, Android P is right around the corner!
I got OP5T, one month ago, my speaker sound at max volume is loud at 100% but at 50% its below 20% any further down can’t hear a thing. I ve taken it to service centre as early as the 1st week of purchase they said wait for updates in like 10days it came not difference, should I ask for a replacement device ????
What’s usually the time frame from One Plus’s beta release to a stable release? 2 months? 3?
things like this dont matter to many people… BUT they matter to me… which is why i am a pixel person for life. all these manufactures testing Oreo. some not. some almost there. And im over here cruising on Android P with ZERO issues. and its just a developer release. AGAIN, i know that being on the most recent release isnt a priority to many.
