Finally OnePlus Nord 2 begins to approach Android 12: the company has in fact released the first Open Beta for the smartphone launched on the market last July with Android 11. And it was also time: at the beginning of the month the predecessor OnePlus Nord took the road for OxygenOS 12 before the new model, and last week it even received a first update .
The history of OxygenOS 12 had, as we know, a troubled start, with the distribution on last year’s flagships OnePlus 9 and 9 Pro which was temporarily interrupted last December due to too many bugs in the system. OnePlus then got back on track, but evidently decided not to force the timing, and for this reason the arrival of Android 12 on a key device like Nord 2, which is the pivot of the company’s mid-range offer, can turn out to be late.
We do not know how long it will take, starting from this first Open Beta, to arrive at the stable version. On the other hand, we know that there are many new arrivals: below you can find the changelog complete update. We remind you that this is a potentially unstable build, and that therefore – unless you have multiple smartphones – it is always a risk to venture out to test the news in advance, since there is the possibility of compromising the functionality of your own. device.
