OxygenOS Open Beta 4 releasing next week for the OnePlus 7 and OnePlus 7 Pro

OnePlus has announced that it will release the OxygenOS Open Beta 4 update for the OnePlus 7 (review) and 7 Pro (review) next week. The company had released the Open Beta 3 update for the same devices two weeks ago.

Since this is a beta build, it isn’t recommended to be used as a daily driver. There will be bugs that users will be voluntarily testing to provide OnePlus feedback to deliver a stable public release. Interested beta users can submit their feedback using OnePlus’ Community app. As reported by GSMArena , there are several updates including bug fixes and optimisations.

Users who are already on an older beta build will receive Open Beta 4 as an OTA update. The full ROM can be downloaded from OnePlus’ official forum . Once you’re onboard the beta ROM, you will only receive beta OTA updates and not the official stable OTAs. To switch to the stable OTA channel, users have to perform a clean installation that will result in data loss. Hence, it’s advised to take a backup before flashing.

Here’s the changelog of OxygenOS Open Beta 4:
