Very cool that this will be available to more than just Pixel and Android One users. I wonder if it will be a beta Oxygen OS build though, or a "stock" Google experience since users opt in through Google's beta site.

It is exciting to see this opportunity come to light. It bodes well for the 5T that a version will be released for us, too. But if that does happen, it will be further down the road.

OnePlus has been making some very good product decisions that will benefit us all. One reason I like OnePlus: they own up to mistakes and keep trying to raise the bar on user experience with their devices.

I agree: OnePlus is definitely making brownie points for doing this. They are making some smart business choices of late. I hope nothing but the best for them!

DAMN, you really beat me to the punch! I was thinking about starting a thread and linking this blog, BUT I checked for existing threads first. LOL

GREAT topic though. I so love that the OP6 is on the "short list" of phones that will run P Preview. It really bodes well for the prospect of getting timely updates and patches from OP. I already have the may security patch on my device! It's also going to be cool checking out P with all the "cool kids" lol.

I'm just not sure if I'm ready to take the plunge yet! Maybe I will wait another beta or two, and let it get a bit more stable.

Last I saw, the beta is hardly stable, so you wouldn't want to use it as a daily driver.

I'm still very curious to see how close they keep it to stock. I'd really like to try the new nav gestures and interface in P. They're ok in Oxygen OS, but not great.

I was using the beta on my pixel 2 XL and yeah, it's definitely quite the beta software. It's usable, but there are quite some bugs with it.

I'll be sticking to the stock software on my OP6 for sure.

First beta was a disaster. New DP2 is pretty unbelievable. Just installed last night, and so far is as stable as OOS.

I'm running DP4 on my Pixel 2 XL and it runs amazing! Once my OP6 comes I won't be installing the beta on it though.
