While the Android Q Beta 2 has already hit Pixel devices, the developer preview is now rolling out to OnePlus 6 and OnePlus 6T devices.
For anyone rocking either of the 2018 flagship killers, you can now join the Android Q Beta on your OnePlus device. Announced on the official OnePlus forums, you will need to flash the ROM yourself to get a taste of Android Q.
[Update 06/21]: OnePlus has confirmed via the official OnePlus Forums that the second Q Beta is now rolling out for the OnePlus 7 and OnePlus 7 Pro.
There are still some issues with the update, with Reading Mode and Display Mode not working along with issues with anonymous Wi-Fi connections. For anyone looking to install, the update requires at least 3GB of free space and your smartphone battery needs to be above 30%.
You can download the Q Beta files for each device here:
- Download for OnePlus 7
- Download for OnePlus 7 Pro
Installation isn’t without its own issues too, as OnePlus has noted a few problems with this particular Android Q Beta build. Known issues include the inability to make emergency calls, while enhanced VoLTE, the expanded screenshot feature, and even applications themselves are not fully working.
Known Issues
- Emergency call doesn’t work
- Enhanced VoLTE doesn’t work
- Expanded screenshot doesn’t work
- Low probability stability issues
- Application compatibility issues
That means if you were thinking of rocking the Android Q Beta on your main OnePlus device, we would wholeheartedly recommend against doing so. That said, if you have a backup device, then it may be worthwhile trialing the software.
You will need to perform a full data wipe of your device before updating or installing this latest Android Q Beta on your OnePlus 6/6T device. Be sure to back up any personal data before installing it. It’s also worth noting that there is some risk of bricking your device, so please proceed with caution.
