OnePlus 13 Now Supports Android 16 Beta

OnePlus has announced the availability of Android 16 Beta for the OnePlus 13, marking it as the first non-Pixel device to receive this preview update. The release is currently limited to the OnePlus 13 and does not include the 13R. This beta release jumps straight from a stable version to Beta 2, bypassing Beta 1.

Key Points:

• First Non-Pixel Device: The OnePlus 13 is one of the first non-Pixel devices to get a preview of Android 16.
• Limited Availability: The beta release is only available for the OnePlus 13 at this stage.
• Known Issues: Several issues have been identified, including problems with font weight adjustments, Bluetooth connectivity, camera performance, and system stability.

Known Issues:

• Inability to adjust font weight settings.
• Device restarts when connected to Bluetooth headsets.
• Camera UI lag and focus problems.
• Freezes and lag in certain scenarios.

Caution Advised:

OnePlus advises users against installing the beta on their primary device due to potential issues. Developers and enthusiasts can test the build, but they should be prepared for a range of bugs and performance issues.

Rollback Option:

Users who encounter problems can roll back to Android 15 and OxygenOS 15, but this process will wipe all data and files on the device.
