Last week, OnePlus launched the OxgenOS 13 and the OnePlus 10T smartphone. After teasing in the Google I/O event, Google started pushing the Android 13 Beta updates. The Android 13 brings significant improvements in privacy and security. OnePlus quickly pushed the Android 13 Developer Preview programme to the OnePlus 10 Pro smartphone. OnePlus also pushed many updates for the smartphone under the programme.
Since it was the Developer Preview updates, those updates didn’t include the OxygenOS 13 skin. Earlier, OnePlus had released ColorOS 13 based on Android 13 for the Chinese OnePlus 10 Pro. OnePlus has now pushed the first OxygenOS 13 Open Beta based on Android 13 for the global units of the OnePlus 10 Pro. Here is a detailed changelog of the update;
