OnePlus teases the first Android Oreo open beta for the OnePlus 5T

Ironically, the 5T, the newest smartphone launched by OnePlus doesn't have Android Oreo, yet, the OnePlus 3, 3T and 5 have already been updated to the latest version of the OS.

However, OnePlus confirmed soon after the 5T made it to market that the smartphone will eventually get Android Oreo. Moreover, the company said last month that it's already working on the update and it will soon make it available through its closed beta and open beta programs.

Today, OnePlus Germany posted an intriguing message on Twitter saying that an Android Oreo beta build should be available right now.

Christmas is over, but we still have a gift for you! ;) How about's with the open beta for Android Oreo on the #OnePlus5T!

Unfortunately, an Android Oreo open beta for the OnePlus 5T is not yet available for download and the company's official forum doesn't mention it at all for the moment. Still, this might be an indication that OnePlus is readying an Android Oreo open beta build for the 5T, which will be available to everyone who wants to test it.
