OnePlus notes that you may encounter unexpected bugs in the beta release, and some third-party apps may not work as intended. However, you can share your feedback on the software and report additional bugs via the Community App to help the software development team iron out any major issues in the final release.

Download: OxygenOS Open Beta 1 based on Android 12 for the OnePlus 8, 8 Pro, and 8T
You can find the download links of the regional update packages below. The Open Beta ZIP files are nearly 4GB in size, so keep that in mind if you’re on a limited data plan. OnePlus also recommends you have at least 30% battery and 3GB of storage available on your device before you proceed. Although your personal data shouldn’t be affected on upgrading to the Open Beta build, reverting to the stable channel will lead to a wipe, so do perform a backup beforehand.
