Last month, OnePlus rolled out Android 8.0 Oreo update to OnePlus 3 closed beta group. At that time, we told you that the Oreo update would be available for OnePlus 3, 3T and 5 as public beta soon. Well, here we are. OnePlus has released Android 8.0 Oreo based OxygenOS Open Beta update 25 and 16 for OnePlus 3 and 3T respectively.
As these open beta updates are based on Android 8.0 Oreo, they come along with features that were introduced with this version of Android like picture-in-picture mode, autofill, smart text selection and more. The company has also made changes to the OnePlus Launcher by adding Notifications Dots to it.
Having said that, as this is an Open Beta update, it’s not stable as the official OTAs, and, it does come with some issues like slower fingerprint actions and stability issues with NFC and Bluetooth.
Here’s what OxygenOS Open Beta update 25 and 16 bring along:
