OnePlus was one of the first OEMs to roll out the Android 11 beta update for its flagships. Further, in an announcement, OnePlus CEO, Pete Lau, confirmed that the third beta will be the final nail in the coffin for the closed beta program.
After this, OnePlus was expected to kick-start the Open Beta program for interested users to try out OxygenOS 11 based on Android 11 for their devices.
But as it turned out, the company did have to release a fourth beta update for users in the Closed Beta program due to some bugs and issues that tagged along in the beta 3 update.
Nevertheless, on September 8, the company finally announced the OxygenOS 11 Open Beta 1 program. And recently, it also rolled out the beta 2 update for the OnePlus 8 and 8 Pro.
The new skin from OnePlus has a bucket load of new features and improvements over the previous version of OxygenOS. Although, many fans are still unsure about the major UI overhaul and the step away from the stock Android-like appearance.
Fortunately, it seems that OnePlus is still looking for ways to improve the OxygenOS experience since the company is now looking forward to some user feedback.
This is because the Chinese OEM is running a survey for OnePlus users who have tried the OxygenOS 11 Open Beta 1 and/or Open Beta 2 update based on Android 11.
