OnePlus 8 Series receiving Android 11 Beta (Developer Preview)

by

OnePlus 8 and 8 Pro smartphone users now receiving Android 11 Beta (Developer Preview).

As the name suggests, this build of Android 11 is best suited for developers and other advanced users, as it is still in an early stage of development. That said, we do not recommend flashing this ROM if you have little to no experience in software development or flashing custom ROMs, or if you expect to use the device as a daily driver. Proceed at your own RISK!
