Android 11 Open Beta 1 rolled out for OnePlus 6/6T

The new OnePlus 6T introduces an in-display fingerprint sensor that is sure to draw attention and be the one feature that you really want to show off. It also has a smaller notch, bigger screen and higher capacity battery, but loses the notification LED and 3.5mm audio jack.

Nearly everything else is the same as it was with the OnePlus 6. There’s still no wireless charging or IP rating, which are the only ways in which this phone doesn’t feel like a true flagship. The camera performance is pretty good, though it suffers at night. The battery will get you through a full day. The OnePlus 6T replaces the OnePlus 6 but isn’t necessarily a compelling upgrade.

We are eagerly waiting for the Android 11 update of our OnePlus 6 and OnePlus 6T but the company didn’t make this update but now currently possible. Today, the Android 11 Open Beta 1 software update finally arrived on OnePlus 6 and OnePlus 6T devices with the download links. Below you can check the complete changelog.
