**[City, State] –** OnePlus has released Android 16 Beta 2 for the OnePlus 13, making it the first non-Pixel device to receive the beta. However, users are cautioned against installing the update due to a significant number of reported bugs.
The beta is reportedly riddled with issues, including camera malfunctions (blurry images, crashes in Macro mode, lag in Ultra Steady mode, and viewfinder errors), font adjustment problems, random device restarts when using Bluetooth headsets, screen freezes, and general system lag. OnePlus acknowledges these problems and has published a list of known issues.
Users are warned that installing the beta carries the risk of “bricking” their phones, rendering them unusable. OnePlus strongly recommends backing up all data before proceeding with the update. Reverting to the stable Android 15/OxygenOS 15 version will require a factory reset, wiping all data.
While tech enthusiasts may be tempted to try the beta, OnePlus advises against installing it on primary devices due to the severity and frequency of the reported bugs. The stable release of Android 16 is expected at a later date.
