OnePlus 7 and OnePlus 7 Pro smartphones are now getting a new Android 10 beta update in the form of OxygenOS Open Beta 2. The update does not bring any new features to the table, instead, it comes with bug fixes which existed in the Open Beta 1. For the unaware, right on the day of Android 10 launch, OnePlus released a beta update to its OnePlus 7 series which users have to install it manually by sideloading the update. The company is now pushing the second beta version which brings stability improvements, fixes SystemUI crashes, among others. The update is already rolling out to both the OnePlus 7 and OnePlus 7 Pro users who’re currently on the OxygenOS Open Beta 1 based on Android 10.

OxygenOS Open Beta 2 for OnePlus 7 Series: What’s New?
As noted, OnePlus did not add anything new to both the smartphones, but the company has fixed various issues which were present on the Open Beta 1 ROM. Firstly, the Chinese company has fixed general bugs and improved the overall system stability. The update also fixes the crash issue with SystemUI caused by parallel WhatsApp app; It also fixed the dark screen issue on the lock screen while accessing games.
Other fixes include status bar not displaying UI elements, the crash issue with default OnePlus gestures, the crash issue with fingerprint unlock and it also optimised the animation effect when notification bar is being scrolled upwards. Lastly, the Open Beta 2 brings a re-designed Wi-Fi icon in Quick Settings.
