The OxygenOS Open Beta 4 is now rolling out for the OnePlus 8 and 8 Pro as, technically, the fourth post-Android 11 update for the mid-2020 flagship duo.
In recent years, the OxygenOS Open Beta has steadily become the main way to ensure that your device is up-to-date and has all of the most recent — not necessarily the “latest” — patches and fixes for your OnePlus device. This has proven to be true for the OnePlus 8 series with the release of OxygenOS 11.0. The latest patch was confirmed as rolling out over on the official OnePlus Forums.
Gripes aside, the OxygenOS Open Beta 4 update is now rolling out with some notable additions alongside the November 2020 security patch. Most of the fixes are simply optimizations for things like calling, system app UIs, and resolutions for specific apps issues. There are yet more power consumption tweaks, which indicates that OnePlus has still been working to resolve any lingering issues some have been complaining of.
There is also some Wi-Fi connectivity stability enhancements for those that may have experienced random disconnections on certain networks. It’s a pretty standard series of patches for consistent everyday issues in all honesty. You can check out the full changelog below should you be interested:
