With Android 13 beta 4.1 released a couple of weeks ago, more OEMs are now testing the build for their eligible devices. Xiaomi has pushed the upcoming Android OS based on MIUI to its Xiaomi 12 and 12 Pro models, with other phones expected to receive the update soon. As expected, OnePlus has entered the party and has released the OnePlus 10 Pro Android 13-based OxygenOS 13 beta.
The OnePlus 10 Pro Android 13-based OxygenOS 13 is exclusive to India and North America. According to the company, due to the extra customization needed for each region, those in Europe will have to wait for the build. Nevertheless, we expect the release in the coming days/weeks.
Meanwhile, OxygenOS 13 has introduced some notable features. It brings a new design language, which was showcased during the OnePlus 10T unveiling. It has a similar design to ColorOS13, which will be launching soon.
