OnePlus is swiftly releasing the second
Android 15 beta version for two of its phones, the
OnePlus 12 and
OnePlus Open. This update is aimed at developers and advanced users who are comfortable navigating beta software.
This new beta release brings a host of improvements and bug fixes that will enhance the overall user experience. For the system, OnePlus has improved stability and performance. The update also fixes an issue where the Auto Pixelate function failed during screenshot previews. Additionally, the
OnePlus Open specifically will see a fix for problems in the split-screen mode.
The connectivity of both phones has also been enhanced. Bluetooth compatibility issues in certain scenarios have been resolved. Additionally, issues with the Multi-Screen Connect function when linking with a PC or tablet have been fixed. Another fix addresses an issue where the Personal Hotspot could not be opened after modifying security settings.
The camera functionality of both phones has been improved as well. Functional issues in specific scenarios have been resolved, and the Smart Image Matting function failure in certain scenarios has been fixed. Compatibility issues with some third-party apps have also been addressed in this update.
While this beta release includes many improvements, OnePlus emphasizes that it is still intended for developers and advanced users. There are known issues that remain unresolved, so it is not recommended for users who rely on their
OnePlus 12 or
OnePlus Open as their primary device.
