OnePlus announced its next-generation software skin, OxygenOS 13, based on Android 13 during the launch of the OnePlus 10T earlier this week. The company had then revealed that the OnePlus 10 Pro will be the first device to receive the OxygenOS 13 update. And today, the OnePlus 10 Pro is ready to give users a taste of the upcoming update, thanks to the availability of the OxygenOS 13 Beta 1 update. Let's look at the changes you will experience in this operating system.

The company announced the release of the first OxygenOS 13 Open Beta build for the OnePlus 10 Pro through an official community post. It is based on Android 13 and has a new Aquamorphic design in tow. Furthermore, it has revealed that the OOS 13 build is currently only available for 10 Pro users in India and North America. Users in the EU will have to wait a while to test the latest features due to some differences in software.

We've already installed the Android 13-based OxygenOS 13 beta on our device, and here's a quick look at the home screen, notifications/quick settings panel, and settings app. As you can see here, the software has completely lost its distinct OxygenOS identity and simply surrendered to the ColorOS design philosophy under Oppo and stands in stark contrast to OnePlus' comments from earlier this year. The company had said at the time that it has listened to community feedback, and it will keep some OxygenOS elements and UI standards, but unfortunately it doesn't seem like it.

You can head over to OnePlus' official community post linked below to check out the full changelog. And since it's a beta version, you're bound to run into some software-breaking bugs and issues. So we suggest not to install this beta version on your daily driver.
