A few weeks back, Google had announced the rollout of the Android P Beta 3 for its Pixel devices. The same update is now being pushed for the OnePlus 6. OnePlus has announced the Android P Developer Preview 3 is now available for its latest flagship smartphone and comes with a few new features as well as some fixes.
The Android P Beta Developer Preview 3 for the OnePlus 6 brings the latest Android security patch dated July 1,2018, updated Google Mobile Services, improved system stability, fixed issue with hotspot functionality, improved image quality, fix for the watermark option functionality, improved camera functionality with third party apps, and fix for compatibility issues with certain third-party apps. However, there are certain issues as well that you need to be aware of. These include certain issues with system stability and power consumption and compatibility with Bluetooth connectivity. You may also notice that some apps may not function as expected when running on the Developer Preview release. As the name suggests, the release is only meant for developers and early adopters. If you are not a developer, we do not recommending flashing this ROM on your OnePlus 6.
