Yesterday, OnePlus released HydrogenOS 11 based on Android 11 Beta 3 for Oneplus 8/8 Pro in China. Today, the company unveiled the same software in the form of OxygenOS 11 for global markets. Users with these two devices can download and install it to experience all the new features.

OxygenOS 11 is a ditto of HydrogenOS 11 with Google Mobile Services (GMS). OnePlus did not even modify the changelog much. That means the new mobile software by the Chinese smartphone maker brings AOD (a much-awaited feature), revamped system apps, optimized dark mode, a new font, Zen Moe 2.0, and more.

Here’s the official changelog for OxygenOS 11 based on Android 11 Beta 3 (aka Android 11 Developer Preview 3)

• New visual design (including Weather app, Launcher, Gallery, Notes)
• New layout for more comfortable and convenient one-handed operation
• Always-on display function, including 11 new clock styles
• Live wallpaper that changes according to the time of day
• New OnePlus Sans font that improves readability
• Optimized Dark Mode, including the ability to automatically turn on and off and a shortcut in Quick Settings
• 3 new Zen Mode themes, more timing options, and new Group feature to let you experience Zen Mode with your friends
• New Gallery function that automatically creates a weekly story based on your photos and videos

With that out of the way, here are the possible issues on this software build.

• Some third-party applications may not function as expected
• System stability issues
• Network stability issues in some scenarios

Having said that, interested users can visit the source link provided at the end of this post for the tutorial on installing OxygenOS 11 on OnePlus 8/8 Pro as well as download links for builds.

It is worth noting that this is the last Android 11 Beta for these two OnePlus phones after Beta 2 in July and Beta 1 in June. We expect the brand to release OxygenOS Open Beta for these phones in the coming days, followed by  Android 11 stable update.

As expected, OnePlus officially introduced HydrogenOS 11 in China earlier today. OnePlus 8/8 Pro users can already install it in the region to try out the new features. The beta build, which is available to install is called  Developer Preview 2 (DP2) and it is based on Android 11 Beta 3. The DP1 released last month in China was based on Android 11 Beta 2 and it was not called HydrogenOS 11 just like the international version.

OnPlus had rolled out two Developer Previews for the international variants of OnePlus 8/8 Pro in June and July based on Android 11 Beta 1 and Beta 2 respectively. The company is expected to release the third and final Developer Preview based on Android 11 Beta 3 very soon.

Ahead of it, it held an event in China revealing the features of HydrogenOS 11, the Chinese version of OxygenOS 11. Also, the build released today in the brand’s home country integrates all the new features of its upcoming mobile software.

To make you understand the Android 11 builds for OnePlus 8/8 Pro clearly, here’s a simple explainer.

Now, with the confusion out of the way, here are the new features of HydrogenOS 11.

• Revamped design and animations
• Redesigned Weather, Gallery, Notes, and other system apps
• Beter one-hand experience
• Two new system fonts
• A new live wallpaper that changes according to the time of the day
• AOD (Always-on Display) with scheduling options
• 10 Clock Styles
• Zen Mode 2.0
• AI video generator in OnePlus Gallery app similar to Google Photos
• OnePlus File Transfer, Works with devices from companies part of Peer-to-Peer Transmission Alliance

Having said that, we expect OnePlus to reveal the features of OxygenOS 11, which will be mostly similar to HydrogenOS 11 with the release of Android 11 Beta 3 (Developer Preview 3) for international variants of OnePlus 8/8Pro.
