OnePlus is quite quick in providing the latest updates to their smartphones. They have already launched the OnePlus 6T with Android 9.0 Pie onboard. Now for further development, they are again starting a closed beta program for the OnePlus 6T. From their passionate online fan following, OnePlus is hiring “elite crew” of beta testers for OnePlus 6T. As of now, the Chinese smartphone company will have 100 candidates on board.

There are a few conditions that you need to follow before joining the community. You must have OnePlus 6T, you should be active on the OnePlus online community and last, but not least is the constant communication and feedback on the latest development. OnePlus describes it to  “constantly communicate and provide feedback to the OnePlus team on Slack.”

The new group of 100 beta testers will be in direct contact with the development crews over at the OnePlus. It is the greatest perk for the beta testers as unlike some bot or autoresponder, now users will be in the direct contact to teh OnePlus staff. It will help OnePlus to get raw information in a much refined and detailed manner.

Despite being volunteering to the testing, don’t expect much as your services won’t be published anywhere, and even you can’t claim anything. OnePlus is doing closed beta registrations by having a Non-disclosure agreement.

Also, use your OnePlus 6T as your secondary phone rather than primary, if you’re testing the new beta builds. Now, if you have convinced yourself, then hit the source link below to sign up for the OnePlus 6T beta registration.
