OnePlus has rolled out the second OxygenOS Open Beta build, based on Android 9.0 Pie, to OnePlus 6.

Being a beta version, the OxygenOS Open Beta 2 for the OnePlus 6 has some known issues. OnePlus says that some third-party applications may not function as expected when running on this beta version. Also, Google Pay service will not work after installing the OxygenOS Open Beta 1 version.
