Last week, OnePlus launched the first OxygenOS 13 open beta program for the OnePlus 10 Pro. The program was made available to Indian and North American (Unlocked) users. Now, the brand has announced the second open beta for the Android 13-based OS. And this time around, it’s also available for the European regions.

Yesterday, Google officially announced the Android 13 Beta program at the opening day keynote of the Google I/O 2022 conference. Just like the past few years, the search giant has partnered with multiple OEMs to enable developers to try out the upcoming version of Android.

Just like last year with the Android 12 Beta initiative, a total of 12 OEMs are part of the Android 13 Beta program. The only difference is that TCL has been replaced with Lenovo this time around.

Though most companies offer Android 13 Beta for a single device, there are some who provide builds for multiple products. Hence, the total number of eligible devices is actually 22, which happens to be 10 more than the OEMs involved.

Unsurprisingly, Google is the one with the most number of products, 8 Pixels smartphones to be precise. It is followed by Xiaomi with 3 devices comprising two smartphones and a tablet. Oppo is also offering builds for a smartphone and a foldable. Whereas, the remaining brands are limited to a single product.
