OnePlus brought in OnePlus 6 and 6T which were one of the hyped devices of 2018. OnePlus phones are always known to pack maximum specs and come in an affordable price range.

To recall, both the devices were identical for instance OnePlus 6 came with 6.28-inch display, a 3,300 mAh battery, 6/8 GB of RAM, Snapdragon 845, up to 256 GB of onboard storage, dual (16+20 MP) camera setup at the back and a rear-mounted fingerprint scanner.

Whereas, the OnePlus 6T was different from the OnePlus 6 in some departments like it packed in a slightly large 3,700 mAh battery, 6.41-inch display and spotted an under-display optical fingerprint scanner.

Cut to now, in a recent development, OnePlus has pushed in the Android 10 Open Beta 2 for both the OnePlus 6/6T. 

We have reported a few days back that due to some bugs, the stable Android 10 update for both the devices will be delayed. And at the moment, the picture also seems likely to the report.

But, another report came in where according to a staff member of the OnePlus community, a new batch of testing was going on for Android 10 build ahead of its stable release for both the devices.

Now coming to the latest Open Beta 2 for the OnePlus 6/6T, it weighs in around 99 MB in size for the OTA update and does bring in quite a few improvements and fixes for the system, camera and WiFi and internet stability.
