Other manufacturers announce that OnePlus does nails with heads! The Beta 1 of Android 11 for the OnePlus 8 & OnePlus 8 Pro is now available for download for users.
OnePlus users can therefore already test Android 11. The two current flagships are available for this. But keep in mind, it’s a trial version! It can still get a little crooked!
OnePlus starts with Android 11 Beta 1 distribution
So if you have your OnePlus 8 & OnePlus 8 Pro in daily use, you should perhaps refrain from installing the Beta and rather wait for the final rollout. Although this should be a few weeks away, it should be stable.
