Today OnePlus rolled out the third Android Q Dev Preview for the OnePlus 6, 6T, 7 and 7 Pro. That’s the first time that all the four handsets get a build of Android Q at the same time. The 2019 and 2018 flagships got the second beta back in the last month.
Since this is pre-release software, users can find some bugs during usage. So this is an update meant for all users, but for just courageous enough to try new things. In addition, if any of previous Dev Previews were installed, make sure to have a backup of your things because a data wipe will be required. On the other hand, users that are running a stable or open beta of OxygenOS can seamlessly install this new build without losing their data.
