OnePlus hans announced today, that
OnePlus 8 and OnePlus 8 Pro users are now able to try out the Android 11
Developer Preview 3 and get a first look at the refreshed design and features
of OxygenOS 11.
This Developer Preview build is designed for our most
technically-inclined community members to test out the new features and share
feedback directly with us. As this is still in an early stage of development,
we do not recommend flashing this ROM if you have little to no experience in
software development or flashing custom ROMs, or if you expect to use the
device as a daily driver. As always, proceed at your own RISK! For more
