OxygenOS 11 Beta 2 now rolling out for OnePlus 7 and 7T series, AOD enabled only on Pro phones

On Saturday last week OnePlus pushed out the last Android 10-based update for the OnePlus 7 and 7T series. The last because the next stable release will bring Android 11. We don’t know when it’s coming yet, though the beta testing process is progressing quickly.

OxygenOS 11 Beta 2 for the OnePlus 7 and 7T series • Note: Security patch is still December 2020

OxygenOS 11 Open Beta 2 comes two weeks after Beta 1. There are a number of optimizations and improvements (full changelog below), but perhaps the most-anticipated feature is the Always-On Display – this is available only on the OnePlus 7 Pro and 7T Pro, the vanilla OnePlus 7 and 7T .

AOD can be found in the OnePlus Laboratory menu and, as the company notes, it will increase the standby power consumption. It’s too early to ask by how much as upcoming builds will reduce battery usage.

Changelog
