OnePlus 7 Pro and Regular 7 receive Android 10 open beta

Today is the official launch day for Android 10. The same day as this launch, the open beta versions of OnePlus 7 and OnePlus 7 Pro Android 10 are available.

Although an open beta version of Android 10 is certainly not identical to a stable version, open beta versions of OnePlus are generally quite reliable. This means that a large number of OnePlus 7 Pro owners will have access to a pretty stable version of Android 10 the same day that Pixel owners get the official version.

Below, you will find the official changelog of this open beta 1 of the two OnePlus 7 devices. This changelog shows the differences between this first beta and the stable version of Android 9 Pie:

• System
  • Upgrading to Android 10
  • New design of the user interface
  • Improved location permissions for privacy
  • New customization feature in settings allowing you to choose which icon shapes to display in quick settings
• Gestures in full screen
  • Added swipes in from the left or right edge of the screen to go back
  • Adding a lower navigation bar to allow toggling left or right for recent applications
• Play area
  • The new Game Space feature now brings all your favorite games together in one place for easier access and a better gaming experience.
• Smart display
  • Supported smart information based on specific times, places, and events for Ambient Display (Settings – Display – Ambient Display – Smart Display)
• Message
  • It is now possible to block keyword spam for Message (Messages – Spam – Settings – Block Settings)

This open beta now cancels and replaces the developer insights that OnePlus has released for the OnePlus 7 and OnePlus 7 Pro in recent months, the most recent of which just landed yesterday.
