OnePlus has been testing its iteration of Android 14 firmware in some of its devices, with the OnePlus Nord 2T being the most recent one to get the OxygenOS 14 Open Beta. OnePlus previously announced that in September it’ll be releasing a stable OxygenOS 14 release in November.
With OnePlus Nord 2T getting the OxygenOS 14 Open Beta, the stable update could arrive by the end of the year. With the announcement of the open beta, users looking to test Android 14 early on can join this beta program.
