Here’s a crux of the article in a short video:
Here’s the complete story:
The owners of OnePlus 6/6T have experienced quite a drama regarding the Android 10 update. Since the first beta build, numerous bugs and issues appeared out of the blue, and they were not properly resolved in the initial stable build. The next part was obvious – yet another re-release saga.
Although the revised update was pushed during the first week of December, it comes with October security patch. Yes, you read that right – not even November. Even the last Open Beta update for the phone duo came with the same old patchset.
Well, the good news is we have a new set of updates rolling out. Sadly, this Open Beta 3 features November patch – quite unacceptable as we are just two weeks from entering into January 2020.
OnePlus’ Manu J. is quick enough to publish an official announcement thread. Interestingly, the second Open Beta is a mandatory prerequisite for installing the latest update.
NOTE: To successfully update to Open Beta 3 you need have Open Beta 2 installed on your device. Please first update from older open beta builds to OBT 2, otherwise the update will fail.
