The OnePlus 13 is taking another step closer to Android 16 with the release of its second beta update, aligning with Google’s accelerated development timeline. With Android 16 set for an earlier-than-usual release (expected by the end of June 2025), OnePlus is wasting no time testing the upcoming OS on its flagship smartphone.
For Developers and Advanced Users Only
This latest Android 16 beta is not meant for general users. OnePlus emphasizes that the build is for developers and experienced users familiar with flashing custom ROMs. Here’s why:
-
The beta build comes with several known issues.
-
There’s a risk of bricking your device if not installed correctly.
-
It’s not recommended for daily-use devices.
Users with carrier-locked OnePlus 13 phones from T-Mobile or Verizon are not eligible to install the beta. Additionally, at least 4GB of free storage and 30% battery life is required for a successful update.
What This Means for Users
The rollout of a second beta signals that OnePlus is making strong progress on its Android 16 development. If the current pace continues, OnePlus 13 users can expect a stable Android 16 release not long after Google’s official launch.
Those interested in testing the beta should carefully read and follow the official installation guide provided in the source. Proceeding without proper knowledge could result in software failure or hardware damage.
Android 16: What’s Coming?
While Android 16’s full feature set is still under wraps, early betas hint at improvements in battery efficiency, security, and multitasking performance. With OnePlus already on board, users of the OnePlus 13 can likely look forward to a refined experience sooner than most.
