The first stable version of Android 11 is finally here. As previously speculated, Google kicked off in September with the release of the first non-beta builds of Android 11 for the Pixel line. OnePlus is also busy finalizing OxygenOS-specific features in addition to the new Android version in preparation for an eventual release via the stable channel. This article will serve as a central repository of download links for all OnePlus devices that have received their official Android 11 updates in the form of OxygenOS, including Open Beta and stable versions.
OxygenOS 11 brings with it much-requested always-on display functionality, a redesigned Weather app, smart home automation shortcuts in the power menu, and many more new features along with a greatly revamped user interface.
To avoid naming confusion, here is something to keep in mind: The builds mentioned in this article are essentially based on the stable Android 11 code base with finalized developer APIs. The Chinese OEM prefers to label some of them as “(Open) Beta” due to the fact that the initial release will not have all the new software features that it will come to associate with the OxygenOS UX skin. Everything we’ve covered in the “Developer Preview” phase of Android 11 has been refined for the stable release, but we’ll continue to see minor improvements over time. These improvements will be available in stable releases of OxygenOS 11.
