OnePlus 3 & 3T: Android 7.1.1 Nougat Beta with OxygenOS Update
As one of
the first manufacturers, OnePlus is testing the update to Android 7.1.1 Nougat
on its OnePlus 3 and 3T smartphones.
Owners of the models can currently
download and try a correspondingly adapted OxygenOS Open Beta. As always with
unfinished software, however, there are still known problems in this case.
Android 7.1.1 for OnePlus 3 & 3T
Android
7.1.1: Google has distributed the latest nougat version since December for its
own Nexus and pixel devices. The most important features are app shortcuts and
general optimizations.
The Chinese
manufacturer OnePlus has released a new beta version of OxygenOS for owners of
its smartphones OnePlus 3 and 3T for download. Particularly interesting is that
this operating system is based on Android 7.1.1, which is the very latest
Android version of Google.
The latest
OS beta of OnePlus has a different name for the respective smartphone. The
manufacturer talks about the new OnePlus 3T from the OxygenOS Open Beta 3 and
the OnePlus 3 from the OxygenOS Open Beta 12. Both versions, however, are as
mentioned above on Android 7.1.1 and are basically identical, which is also
reflected in the official update- Description.
As always
with software that is not yet complete, owners of the OnePlus 3 or OnePlus 3T
must be aware that the OxygenOS Beta 12 or Beta 3 still contains some errors.
The manufacturer warns users who are looking to try out the new update, for
example, that some third-party apps may still experience compatibility issues.
In any case, it might be advisable to do without the installation of the
unfinished operating system build-up and potentially inconsistent
inconsistencies, since OnePlus will probably soon provide a final output as a
comfortable OTA update.

comments on the current OxygenOS beta for the 3 and 3T are as follows.
