What you need to know
OnePlus 13 users can now give Android 16 Beta 2 a test run and see what this new OS feels like on their phones.
The company put out a detailed guide for developers and advanced users who’d like to test out the new software.
OnePlus does caution users about known issues and the risk of bricking their phones, during this upgrade process.
OnePlus 13 owners are in for a new experience as the company just announced that it is making Android 16 Beta 2 available to developers and advanced users.
In a detailed community post, the company said that it is giving users early access to the latest Android experience. This is the first time that OnePlus has made a beta version of a new OS available to its users. With this release, it “hope(s) to empower app developers and early adopters in our community to build even better software experiences.”
It should be noted that while this is Android 16 Beta 2 (Pixel phones are currently on Android 16 Beta 3), this is the first Android 16 beta version available for the OnePlus 13.

But before you get all excited, it is important to know that this upgrade isn’t for new or inexperienced users who are unfamiliar with unstable software versions. And it also isn’t for folks who use the OnePlus 13 as their primary device for daily tasks.
