OnePlus Rolls Out OxygenOS 15 Beta for OnePlus 12R in India

Looking to try out Android 15 before everyone else? OnePlus just dropped some exciting news for 12R users in India. 

The tech giant has launched its OxygenOS 15 beta program, giving adventurous users first dibs on testing the latest features.

What's New With the Beta Program?

The beta testing phase marks OnePlus's first step toward rolling out Android 15 to its devices. But before you jump in, here's what you need to know:

  • Eligibility: Your OnePlus 12R must run either firmware version CPH2585_14.0.0.832(EX01) or CPH2585_14.0.0.833(EX01)
  • Limited Spots: The beta program has restricted seats, so you'll want to act fast
  • Data Backup: OnePlus strongly recommends backing up your data before joining

How to Join the Beta Program

Want to become a beta tester? Here's your step-by-step guide:

  1. Open your phone's Settings
  2. Navigate to Software Update
  3. Tap the icon in the top-right corner
  4. Select “Beta Program”
  5. Follow the application process

Important Considerations Before Joining

While being an early adopter sounds exciting, it's worth considering these factors:

  • App Compatibility: Some third-party apps might not work properly with the beta version
  • System Stability: Beta versions typically come with bugs and occasional crashes
  • Data Loss Risk: Rolling back to the stable version will erase all your data

Exit Strategy: Returning to Stable Version

If you find the beta too unstable, you can return to the regular version. However, keep in mind:

  • You'll need to download the recovery file
  • Developer mode must be activated
  • A local installation will be required
  • All data will be wiped during the rollback process

Who Should Join?

The beta program is perfect for tech enthusiasts who:

  • Love testing new features
  • Can handle occasional bugs
  • Don't mind backing up their data
  • Use their phone for non-critical tasks

If you prefer stability over cutting-edge features, it's better to wait for the official OxygenOS 15 release. For more details about Android 15's features, check out Google's Android Developer Blog.

This release represents OnePlus's commitment to keeping its devices updated with the latest Android versions, following the recent success of the OnePlus 12R launch. Keep an eye on the OnePlus Community Forums for user experiences and additional beta program updates.
