Android 15 beta update officially released for select OnePlus devices

While OnePlus is still carving out a niche in the US market, the release of its latest flagship model on the global stage has helped it establish a name for itself as a brand. With the OnePlus 12, the company has also managed to play a major role in the rollout of Android 15. Now, the second beta update of the OS has been released for select devices from the manufacturer, underscoring that point.

OnePlus 12 review: All flagship, no AI

This phone really does not lack anything and is a complete package.

According to an announcement from the OnePlus software team, Android 15 Beta 2 has been officially released for the OnePlus 12 and OnePlus Open. The team said that for now, this version is aimed at developers and experienced users, and can be useful, for example, when creating apps. However, they also pointed out that there are already some known issues that need to be debugged. If you are looking for stability, Android 15 Beta 2 is probably not for you.

Improvements in Android 15 Beta 2

Improvements include Bluetooth compatibility, personal hotspot usage, and camera functionality (via Android Authority). The software team also said some third-party app compatibility issues have been resolved, and issues with multi-screen connection functionality have been addressed. However, the camera may freeze when enabling high-resolution mode. There are a number of bugs that need to be ironed out, including a bug in the system interface while playing music and an inability to turn off Air Gestures when turned on.

OnePlus continues to gain momentum after its global debut, adding more features to both hardware and software. For example, the OnePlus 12 recently released a repair mode, which gives service technicians all the access they need to safely address issues with the device. It’s not uncommon for manufacturers to roll out similar modes for troubleshooting purposes. For example, Samsung created a maintenance mode, and Google created a repair mode for its Pixel smartphones. However, not everything went as planned, and some found the mode unintuitive. As OnePlus looks to move forward, it would be better to focus more attention on improving features instead of releasing them too soon.
