The firm said last week during the introduction of the OnePlus 10T that the OnePlus 10 Pro will be the first device to get the OxygenOS 13 upgrade based on Android 13. In a forum post today, OnePlus revealed that the OxygenOS 13 pre-stable release is now accessible for the OnePlus 10 Pro, only days after Samsung unveiled the One UI 5 Open beta program for the Galaxy S22 sequel.

EU users may need to wait a bit, unlike North American and Indian residents who may immediately install the open beta build.

OnePlus appears to have fully adopted the ColorOS design language when it comes to OxygenOS 13. The most recent OnePlus skin, as expected, adds a number of new features, including, among others, a new animation engine, seamless earphone connectivity, more AOD customization choices, enhanced Dolby audio effects, Kids Space, and fresh Bitmoji AOD animations, and gaming-specific Hyperboost GPA 4.0.

Here is the first OxygenOS 13 beta build!

Through an official community post, the company disclosed the availability of the first OxygenOS 13 Open Beta builds for the OnePlus 10 Pro. It has an Aquamorphic design and is based on Android 13. Additionally, it has come to light that just 10 Pro users in North America and India presently have access to the OOS 13 release. Due to some software variations, users in the EU will need to wait before testing the newest features.

Here’s a short peek at the home screen, notifications/quick settings panel, and settings app after we previously loaded the Android 13-based OxygenOS 13 beta on our device. As you can see, in sharp contrast to OnePlus’ statements from earlier this year, the software has entirely lost its own OxygenOS identity and has just ceded to the ColorOS design philosophy under Oppo. However, it doesn’t look that way. The business had previously said that it had listened to user comments and would keep several OxygenOS components and UI standards.
