OnePlus unveiled its latest iteration of mobile software dubbed OxygenOS 13 at the OnePlus 10T launch event last week. The Android 13-based software is now available for the OnePlus 10 Pro in beta form.

OnePlus has released the first public beta build of OxygenOS 13 based on Android 13. The software is currently limited to the OnePlus 10 Pro sold in India and North America (unlocked). The model sold in Europe will be added to the beta program in the near future.

The company is calling the beta build ‘OxygenOS 13 Open Beta 1’. We expect multiple releases to happen in the coming weeks ahead of the stable rollout.

In order to install the beta software, users have to first download the appropriate file from the announcement post. Additionally, North American users have to also download an APK provided in the post and install it. 

Then, they will have to enable ‘Developer options’ by tapping 7 times on ‘Build number’ under About device > Version. Finally, they have to navigate to Settings > About device > Up to date and tap on the top right button to select ‘Local install’. Select the downloaded to file initiate the installation process.

Unsatisfied users can revert back to OxygenOS 12.1 (Android 12), however, that process will erase their device’s internal storage. The installation steps are the same as above, except that a different file has to be downloaded.

Earlier this month, Oppo recruited ColorOS 13 Closed Beta testers for Oppo Find X5, Oppo Find X5 Pro, and OnePlus 10 Pro in China. Selected applicants were also treated with the Android 13-based beta software in the next few days. Now, two weeks later, the company recruiting more testers for the aforementioned smartphones.

According to the official announcement posts on Oppo Community and OnePlus Community, the new recruitment for these devices is for ‘nolog’ version. This version of beta builds will have the log grab switch turned off by default.

Hence, Oppo says that these ColorOS 13 beta builds based on Android 13 will offer better performance and battery life than the previously released ones, in which the log grab switch is always turned on.

Either way, both versions of the ColorOS 13 Closed Beta builds are said to have multiple bugs. The company even warns that certain banking applications are incompatible as of now. It also talks about the possibility of issues with other third-party apps.

Interested users in China can enroll themselves in the program from July 18 till 12 PM CST on July 20. Oppo has only allocated 1,500 seats for each of these three handsets.

At the moment, it is not known when the global wing of Oppo/Oneplus will announce the Android 13-based ColorOS 13/OxygenOS 13 Closed Beta program for Oppo Find X5, Oppo Find X5 Pro, and OnePlus 10 Pro.
