Chinese smartphone maker
OnePlus has released the new OxygenOS Open Beta 27 ROM for the
OnePlus 5, and Open Beta 25 ROM for the
OnePlus 5T. Based on
Android Pie, both ROMs bring bug fixes and performance improvements to the table. In terms of new features, both ROMs add support for weather widget in clock, and also add gaming mode enhancements.
If you’ve enrolled for the company’s
OxygenOS Open Beta, the new update will be available to download as an OTA (over-the-air). Alternatively, one can head over to
oneplus.in/support/softwareupgrade to manually download the ZIP file of the latest ROM and flash it via recovery. The page also has flashing instructions so follow them carefully as even a single mistake could potentially brick your smartphone.

OnePlus notes that once you migrate to open beta, you’ll continue receiving beta updates as an OTA. Do note, as the updates are in beta, they are likely to come with some bugs. Ensure that you don’t flash the beta ROM on a smartphone that is your daily driver. Now, if you want to move to stable version, you’ll have to do a clean install again.
