How to Apply for the Beta Program
Interested users can apply for the OnePlus 11R open beta testing program from November 13 until a specified limit is reached. It is important to submit the application within this timeframe as the application channel will be closed afterwards. Before applying, users must ensure that their phone is updated to one of the detectable versions: CPH2487_13.1.0.582(EX01) or CPH2487_13.1.0.581(EX01).
To apply, users need to follow these steps:

- Tap the icon on the top right.
- Proceed to Beta program.
- Follow the provided steps.
Review Process and Downloading the Approved Version
After the application channel is closed, the review process will take place within 5 workdays. If the application is approved, users can expect to receive the new version within the subsequent 3 workdays. To download the approved version, users need to go to Settings, choose About device, and select Download Now. This systematic approach ensures a smooth beta testing experience for OnePlus 11R users.
Important Considerations
While the beta version of Android 14-based OxygenOS 14 offers users an opportunity to experience the new features ahead of the official release, it is important to note that the software is still undergoing beta testing. As a result, it may not be as stable as the official version. OnePlus recommends not installing the beta version on primary devices, as it could potentially lead to malfunctions in the device or specific applications.
Changelog for the New Build
For users who are already part of the beta testing pool, the new build brings several changes and fixes. The changelog includes:
System
- Improves system stability and performance.
- Fixes a screen flicker issue that might occur in some scenarios.
- Fixes an issue where some screen elements are not fully displayed after the system navigation method is changed.
Camera
- Fixes an issue where the screen might go black when switching to the front camera.
- Fixes an issue where the Private album might not show up at the bottom of the Albums page.
With the second beta phase now open, OnePlus 11R users in India have the opportunity to try out the Android 14-based OxygenOS 14 before its official release. However, it is important to remember that the beta version may not be as stable as the official version, so caution is advised when installing it on primary devices.
