OnePlus 13 receives Android 16 Beta 2

Google is following an accelerated timeline for Android 16 compared to previous years. Therefore, we should not surprise us that OEM are now testing Android 16 on their devices. OnePlus has just announced the launch of Android 16 Beta 2 for OnePlus 13, which marked it as the first device outside the Google pixels to receive the new update, just on the eve of the Samsung launch of Android 15 stable for the Galaxy S24 series in the US.

By him advertisement In the OnePlus forums, this Beta 2 compilation of Android 16 for OnePlus 13 is intended only to advanced developers and users, which allows them to test their applications in the next platform update. As such, you should not install this in your daily controller, since it runs the risk of blocking your phone. There is also a long list of errors already known, and several more can be unknown. For example, the phone will be blocked and restart if you answer a call using a Bluetooth headset. There are also many blockades related to the camera, so you must definitely stay away.

OnePlus mentions that Verizon and T-Mobile carrier devices are incompatible with this construction of Android 16. This is the first construction of the new platform, so either by hunting the most old beta 1 construction. There are ways to return to Android 15, but keep in mind that you must proceed only after making a backup copy of your data, since there will be a data cleaning in the process.

Even so, it is quite impressive that OnePlus has already begun to adapt to Android 16 for its devices. We do not expect new features in this construction, but it gives us the hope of a rapid launch of Android 16 stable in the coming months. At least OnePlus is better than Samsung, who is still working in a launch of UI 7 and Android 15 in the United States.
