OxygenOS for OnePlus smartphones comes in three flavours – Closed Beta, Open Beta, and Stable. The company has been following it for 4 years. But now it has announced some changes in their release schedule.
OnePlus is set to recruit testers for OnePlus 8 and OnePlus 8 Pro OxygenOS Closed Beta builds very soon. Ahead of it, the company has announced that it has decided to reduce the number of releases for all the three flavours of OxygenOS.
Up until now, OnePlus used to release 4 Closed Beta builds and 2 Open Beta builds for all the supported devices. Whereas, stable builds are released every 1-2 months.
But from now onwards, the company will only release 2 Closed Beta builds and 1 Open Beta build per month for the eligible devices. However, it did not make any change in the stable release schedule since it is supposed to provide monthly security patches to all the users.
OnePlus’ explanation for this decision is that it will try to provide better bug-free builds in all three release channels. It believes it can achieve it by spending more time in optimizing them rather rushing to release more builds.
The main cause of this move is that more of its users are using Open Beta builds than ever before. So by reducing the frequency of beta releases, the company aims to address reported bugs and feedback to offer a better experience.
