The Android 7.0 Nougat second open beta build is being rolled out by OnePlus for OnePlus 3. It's officially known as the OxygenOS Open Beta 9 and this Nougat-based firmware brings with it expanded screenshots and optimizations for the user interface, DPI settings and battery performance. The first Nougat testing release for OnePlus 3 came in November and now the Chinese mobile maker is already providing improvements.
The OnePlus 3 OS now has improved performance and stability. The update has also brought some general bug fixes. Users of the handset will receive an over-the-air update for the second open beta build of Android 7.0 Nougat. Those who are new to open beta, they need to flash this one using the ADB sideload, writes GSMArena. This will allow users to receive over-the-air updates whenever they are released.
However, once a user opts for open beta, he will not receive OTA updates for the final, official and stable OxygenOS releases. To receive that users need to roll back to the official build though that will wipe phone data.
