• OxygenOS 13 Closed Beta Program started

OnePlus expanding its closed beta program to its eligible devices along with an Open Beta update. Recently, the company announced the Android 13-based OxygenOS 13 Closed Beta Program for OnePlus 8T smartphone users in India.

OnePlus is currently looking for Indian users who are ready to flash the new build on their OnePlus 8T and give feedback and suggestions. This allows the company to improve the software experience.

The company is looking for 200 testers who meet the requirements and use the OnePlus 8T India units. The company also has rewards to thank users for participating in its closed beta testing program.

Those applying for the Closed Beta Testing Program are sworn to complete confidentiality. OnePlus will not be held responsible if a beta tester releases an unstable CBT package and other users eagerly download it. It warns that this can lead to serious performance defects.

Also, the brands ask users not to share content related to CBT installation packages or internal beta versions with people outside the project team. Additionally, to join the closed beta testing program, you will need to sign an NDA (Non-Disclosure Agreement) with OnePlus.

OnePlus 8T OxygenOS 13 (Android 13) Closed Beta Program 

APPLY NOW  

In order to be eligible, you need to meet the requirements below:

1. You are using a OnePlus 8T (India variant)
2. You are an active OnePlus Community member
3. You are willing to sign an NDA (Non-Disclosure Agreement) with OnePlus after you receive the invitation e-mail
4. You are willing to regularly communicate and report issues/suggestions to the OnePlus team on Telegram
5. The CBT version is not a stable version, which is still in development. After updating to the CBT version, you’ll remain patient and tolerate its instability and accept all risks which might be caused by it.

It’s also worth noting that this program may require a Flash build, which requires a clean Flash. This means that it causes data loss. We recommend that you wait until the company releases a stable Android 13-based OxygenOS 13 for the OnePlus 8T.
