OxygenOS 14 Beta Rolling Out in India and North America: What OnePlus 11 Users Need to Know Now

0

Highlights

  • OxygenOS 14 Beta 2 rolls out with a region-specific update path for Indian and North American users.
  • New Aquamorphic 2.0 design language unveiled, promising dynamic UI changes.
  • Known issues persist in Beta 2, caution advised for potential users.
  • Interview confirms the likely end of Stock UI in OxygenOS for the foreseeable future.

OnePlus is stirring up the tech scene with the second beta version of its upcoming OxygenOS 14, and there’s a lot to dissect.

Alongside some exciting new features, OnePlus is taking a region-specific approach for the roll-out, requiring different update methods for Indian and North American users.

What’s more an exclusive interview by Android Central has revealed rather bittersweet news regarding the future of OxygenOS.

Here’s a comprehensive look at everything we know.

How to Get the Update OxygenOS 14 Beta: Indian vs North American Users

If you’re an Indian OnePlus 11 user keen to try out the Beta 2, head to your device “Settings,” find “About device,” and check for updates.

You’ll see an option for the Beta program which you can join by following on-screen instructions.

Update OxygenOS 14 Beta: Indian vs North American Users
Update OxygenOS 14 Beta: Indian vs North American Users

Note that your device should be running on firmware version CPH2447_13.1.0.590(EX01) or CPH2447_13.1.0.591(EX01) to be eligible for the update.

For OnePlus 11 users in North America, the process is slightly different. They’ll need to manually download a zip package and an APK file from OnePlus’ official source.

Once the APK is installed, locate the zip package from the device storage and initiate the update.
Make sure your device runs on firmware version CPH2451_13.1.0.591(EX01).

Pre-Update Requirements

Both Indian and North American users must ensure two things:

  • A battery life exceeding 30 percent
  • A minimum of 4GB of available storage
  • Also, carrier-specific models will not be compatible with these open builds.

What’s Fixed and What’s Not: OxygenOS 14 Beta 2 Highlights

Alongside design improvements and new features, the Beta 2 version addresses several crucial issues:

  • Third-party apps crashing
  • Screen flickering in specific apps
  • Swipe-up gesture malfunctions
  • Various display issues
  • Volume issues with Bluetooth headphones
  • Toolbar display issue in the Camera app

Known Issues

While the update brings fixes, there are known issues users should be aware of:

  • Occasional fingerprint unlock failure
  • Issues with incoming WhatsApp calls during gaming or in full-screen mode
  • Unnatural brightness on the lock screen
  • Black edges on full-screen AI photos
  • Absence of reminders for screen recording

Given these potential pitfalls, it’s advisable to be cautious. Beta versions are naturally more prone to bugs compared to stable releases.

To Sum It Up

OxygenOS 14 Beta 2 is setting the stage for some significant advancements, from its nuanced Aquamorphic 2.0 design language to various feature enhancements and fixes.

However, be prepared for some quirks if you plan to update, especially since beta builds are generally more unstable.

Goodbye To OnePlus’ Stock Android Roots?

OnePlus's OxygenOS
OnePlus’s OxygenOS

Following a one-on-one interview by Android Central’s Harish Jonalagadda with Gary Chen, OnePlus Product Partnership Lead, and Zach Lin, Lead on OxygenOS Product, it’s clear that the stock UI OxygenOS experience is not making a comeback anytime soon.

If you’ve ever noticed similarities between OnePlus’s OxygenOS and Oppo’s ColorOS, it’s not a coincidence.
Both UIs are developed on the same codebase. According to Gary Chen, this shared foundation enables the development team to deliver higher-quality updates.

Gary Chen said in the interview, “as a result, OxygenOS will share the same design philosophy — Aquamorphic Design with ColorOS to incorporate the vibrant colour system, but it still has customized design elements including icons, widgets, wallpapers, ringtones, and AOD to meet the needs of OxygenOS users. Our ultimate goal is to synergistically combine the finest aspects of both products, resulting in a new and exceptional offering.”

FAQs

Ques) How can Indian OnePlus 11 users get the OxygenOS 14 Beta update?

Indian users can join the Beta program via the device “Settings.” Ensure that the firmware version is either CPH2447_13.1.0.590(EX01) or CPH2447_13.1.0.591(EX01).

Ques) What are the steps for North American OnePlus 11 users?

North Americans will have to manually download and install a zip package and an APK file. The device should run on firmware version CPH2451_13.1.0.591(EX01).

Ques) What are the pre-update requirements for both regions?

A battery life of over 30% and at least 4GB of available storage is required. Carrier-specific models won’t be compatible.

Ques) What issues have been fixed and what remains in OxygenOS 14 Beta 2?

Several issues like third-party apps crashing, and screen flickering have been resolved. However, known issues like fingerprint unlock failure and other minor bugs still persist.

Unveiling the Top Mobile Processors of 2023: A Comprehensive Guide to Performance Rankings and More

0

Highlights

  • Deciphering the intricacies of mobile processor performance with real-world benchmarks like AnTuTu and Geekbench.
  • Unveiling the top performers in 2023, including the Apple A17 Pro, Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, and MediaTek Dimensity 9200.
  • Key factors to consider when choosing a processor, from thermal management to videography capabilities.

In today’s fast-paced digital environment, the word ‘processor’ often holds the same weight as the brand of the phone itself.

Processor names have become buzzwords, promising performance, speed, and efficiency.

But let’s slow down and really look into what makes the cut as one of the top mobile processors while another lags behind.

The Nuts and Bolts of Top Mobile Processors

To kick things off, let’s get technical.
A processor is the electronic beating heart of your smartphone.

It’s the grandmaster that conducts an orchestra of logic gates, an arithmetic logic unit, and the main memory, among other elements.

Top Mobile Processor Rankings in 2023
Top Mobile Processor Rankings in 2023

While many processors claim to be the “best,” they all have their unique strengths and weaknesses, making the term “best” highly relative and situation-dependent.

Benchmarking: The Yardstick of Tech Performance

When you hear the term “benchmarking,” think of it as a litmus test for processors. This is not a catch-all phrase but an industry-recognized method for measuring SoC performance.

Benchmarks provide numeric scores based on a variety of factors, from the user experience in gaming to battery longevity and general CPU performance.
It’s a comprehensive test that pushes a processor’s limits to the max.

Decoding AnTuTu Benchmark: A Closer Look

AnTuTu v9 and Geekbench scores of Galaxy S23 Ultra from 91mobiles’ review
AnTuTu scores of Realme Narzo 60X from My Mobile Review

AnTuTu is like the SAT of mobile processors, testing various aspects of a system chip and then summing it up in a neat, single number.

But there’s more to it.
These numbers can offer guidance on performance.

For instance, a processor with a score of 4,00,000 would theoretically offer double the performance of a 2,00,000-score processor.

The catch? AnTuTu hasn’t set a concrete standard, making the interpretation of these scores more of an art than a science.

Geekbench: Not to be Overlooked

Geekbench scores of Galaxy S23 Ultra from 91mobiles’ review
Geekbench scores of Realme Narzo 60X from My Mobile Review

While AnTuTu gets most of the limelight, Geekbench offers another valid and valuable perspective.

It especially focuses on single-core and multi-core functionalities, putting your device through a rigorous exercise routine of heavy computational tasks.

Scoring above 3,000 in multi-core tests is akin to having an athlete’s level of stamina—indicative of a phone well-suited for multitasking and high-performance tasks.

What to Consider in Your Next Smartphone

High Performance Cores
High Performance Cores & High Efficiency Cores

Choosing the perfect smartphone is more than just looking at specs on a screen or going by top mobile processor rankings.

There’s a complex matrix of considerations, ranging from raw processing power to real-world usage scenarios, that should guide your decision.
Let’s dive deeper into some of these nuanced factors:

Thermal Management: Keeping Cool Under Pressure

Heavy use of apps, gaming, or video streaming can heat up your device.
If the device can’t dissipate this heat effectively, you risk slower performance and even long-term damage.

What to look for:

    • Advanced cooling systems like vapor chamber cooling or graphite sheets.
    • Check the manufacturer’s specifications and see if thermal management is highlighted as a feature.

Real-World Performance: The Litmus Test of Specifications

Benchmark scores give an abstract idea of performance, but they don’t tell you how the device will handle your specific needs.

What to look for:

  • Watch real-user reviews on platforms like YouTube, where you’ll see the device being used in real-world scenarios.
  • Look for performance tests that are relevant to your uses. If you’re a gamer, find reviews that focus on that. If you’re into photography, look for camera tests.
  • Try the device at a physical store to get a hands-on feel of its performance.

Videography Capabilities: Because Life Happens in High Definition

Today, our smartphones serve as our primary video recording devices for capturing life’s precious moments.

What to look for:

  • Resolution options. Does it offer 4K, 1080p, or both?
  • Frame rates. Higher frame rates like 60fps or even 120fps for slo-mo videos can make a huge difference.
  • Additional features like image stabilization, HDR, and different lens options (wide, ultra-wide, telephoto) that offer versatility in shooting.

Wrapping up, remember that while top mobile processor rankings offer a strong starting point, they shouldn’t be your sole determining factor.

Think about your specific requirements, like gaming, photography, or multitasking, when choosing a processor.

With this nuanced understanding, you’ll be better equipped to navigate the complex, yet fascinating, landscape of 2023’s top mobile processor rankings.
