First OxygenOS 14 Open Beta now available for the OnePlus 11
OnePlus announced today via its Community Forum its first Open Beta for OxygenOS 14, which is based on...you guessed it...Android 14. This follows the news shared last month on the official launch of OxygenOS14, originally slated for September 25th, but later put on hold due to Google's delay of the stable version of Android 14's release.

However, this has not stopped OnePlus from proceeding with its plans to bring OxygenOS 14 to its user base and has promptly provided a way for OnePlus 11 users to experience this update ahead of time. The open beta is currently only available to North America and India, but will be available in more regions soon.

The OxygenOS 14 update is available only for OnePlus 11 devices that are currently running the latest stable version of OxygenOS, which happens to be v13.1, and only for unlocked devices. This means that carrier devices for T-Mobile or Verizon aren't compatible with this release.

Additionally, as this is not a stable build, you should keep in mind that there are always risks associated with its installation on your device. You should also make sure you backup your device, charge it to at least a 30% battery level, and ensure you have at least 4GB of storage space available before proceeding.
