If you want to give an unstable version ofAndroid Qa try on yourOnePlus 7orOnePlus 7 Pro, the latest update is available now! OnePlusjust postedits second developer preview of Android Q for the OnePlus 7 series.
Since this is the second preview, it will be a little less buggy than the first preview — but it’s still not a good idea to use this as your daily driver. There are already some well-known bugs, including broken features and stability problems.
This second developer preview of Android Q for the OnePlus 7 Pro and its vanilla variant comes in only a few days afterthe same previewarrived for theOnePlus 6andOnePlus 6T.
If you are currently running a Pie-based version ofOxygen OS(eitherthe public betaor the stable version), switching to this second developer preview of Android Q will require a full wipe of your device. You will also need to re-wipe if you want to switch back to a Pie-based ROM.
If you are currently on the first developer preview of Android Q, you can do a dirty flash with no data loss.
