The long-awaited Android Pie open community beta for OnePlus 3 and 3T is now available for owners to download and install.
Although this isn’t a fully stable download, it is a welcome addition for those who have waited a seriously extensive amount of time for Android Pie to come to OnePlus 3 and OnePlus 3T devices.
This community beta will act as a public test before the full stable Android Pie release hopefully hits devices in the next few weeks. It’s worth noting that this download will not be available as an OTA download, instead you will have to download and install yourself.
As is now customary, the update was announced on the OnePlus Community Forums by Manu J. The update brings with it the April 2019 security patch, the brand new gesture-based Android Pie UI, Gaming Mode 3.0, deeper integration with Google Duo, camera integration with Google Lens and heap’s more extras on top.
