OnePlus have just started the Open Beta 15 & 7 OTA roll out for the OnePlus 6 & 6T to test new features and fixes that may or may not, come to future firmware updates. You will only receive this test firmware OTA if you are already on their Open Beta releases.

Camera version 3.0.32

Android Security patch = March 2019

This is the 7th Open Beta release for the 6T in 84 days

(N.B. Open Beta is not available for the T-Mobile carrier minority variant)

Still have 4GB of ZRAM in this version for the 8GB 6T model...

Rooted users can remove it, if so desired, thanks to Yannis Neris' post...

If you cannot wait for the OTA update, you can download the Open Beta firmware and flash it via Local upgrade thanks to Funk Wizard over on xda developers forum.

Alternatively, you could use Oxygen Updater, free from the Google Play Store.

Off topic but do you have any idea what this is?

Sorry Ryano89... you've got me on that one. Something to do with your email possibly.

Maybe, I just use Gmail but I'm stumped as well.

The new screenshot edit UI is much better IMHO. Much more intuitive and convenient.

Is there any reason not to run these betas? I'm on the unlocked 8GB/256gb 6t using the regular software. Are they just as stable as the regular builds?

So far so good, although I don't really notice what's different about the screenshot or photo editing ui

I've not encountered any problems at all in the past several updates. These "beta" updates are probably the most stable builds I've ever felt with when it comes to beta testing. What little issues I have had are not major difficulties or even draws away from anything, they've been things that are easily fixed with a cache dump and or a soft reset.

As the guy who jumped off the Empire State building was heard to say, as he passed the 21st floor... "So far, so good".

So far the Open Betas for the OnePlus 6 & 6T have been pretty good and stable. However, as the OnePlus 5 & 5T Open Beta testers found out recently... this is not always the case.

This is my stock warning to would-be Open Beta testers in the OnePlus forum...

"WARNING! Open Beta releases are for competent and experienced users since they may not always be stable and are for the purposes of testing and reporting to OnePlus to help them develop future stock firmware and features. By installing this Open Beta, you accept the potential risks. Once on the Open Beta pathway you will no longer receive the regular OnePlus, Official Stable OTA's and you will need to completely wipe your phone before attempting to return to Official Stable OnePlus stock firmware."
