Two months back, OnePlus originally started testing Android 13 on its latest flagship smartphone – the OnePlus 10 Pro. The firm kicked off a second developer preview aka closed beta last month. And now is the time for the third developer preview coming with bug fixes and improvements. Read along to know more about the OnePlus 10 Pro Android 13 developer preview 3 update.
If your OnePlus 10 Pro is running on the second developer preview or even the first DP, you can now upgrade your OnePlus 10 Pro to the new developer preview build. Obviously, if you’re on a stable build and want to taste the new features, then you need to manually install the new update on your device. However, I don’t recommend you installing the developer preview builds on your primary smartphone, but if you’re in a haste, then you can join the company’s closed beta program when more slots are available in the program.
OnePlus kicks off the new developer preview build with improvements and enhancements, yes, the company didn’t mention anything new in the changelog except a list of known issues. Although, you can also expect a new monthly security patch with this release. Check out the complete changelog and known issues list here.
