OxygenOS 12 Open Beta 1 offers Android 12 to OnePlus 7/7T

• OnePlus announced OxygenOS 12 Open Beta for the 7 and 7T.
• Improvements include improved Canvas AOD function.
• Users can now switch between Work and Life mode using simple settings.

OxygenOS 12 is almost out, but some phones still have last year’s version. OnePlus has focused on updating its more current devices to Android 12, but it’s finally moved to its 2019 flagships. After a brief closed beta testing period, the firm has released the first Open Beta build of OxygenOS 12 for the OnePlus 7 and 7T range.

As you might anticipate, this is a substantial upgrade for users of the OnePlus 7/7 Pro, 7T/7T Pro, and 7T/7T Pro. Not only does OxygenOS 12 flaunt an all new appearance. But the first public beta also comes along an improved Canvas AOD function, three configurable settings in the dark mode, an inbox frame rate stabiliser, and many other improvements. In addition to the customizations that are unique to OnePlus, this software incorporates all of the many improvements that were made to Android 12 behind the scenes.
