OnePlus launched the OnePlus Nord CE 2 in February. Despite releasing in the second month of 2022, the handset debuted with OxgenOS 11 based on Android 11. Now, five months after its launch, the phone has finally received its first Android 12 public beta build.
OnePlus released the OxygenOS 12 Beta 1 based on Android 12 for the OnePlus Nord CE 2 last week. The official announcement was made via the OnePlus Community on July 14.
Any user on firmware version A.13 can try out the beta software build. Unsurprisingly, there are some bugs in this release and the brand even lists some of them. These include an abnormal display of time on AOD (Always-on Display), no location information in video details, and wireless audio issue in the app cloner version of WhatsApp.
The aforementioned bugs are just the known ones. There could be even more. Hence, proceed with caution if you are interested in installing the beta software on your daily driver smartphone.
OnePlus hasn’t revealed when the stable release will happen. At the same time, it is not known how many beta builds the device will receive.
Apart from the OnePlus Nord CE 2, OnePlus is yet to deliver the Android 12 update for OnePlus 9RT, OnePlus 7 series, and OnePlus 7T series.
