With the OnePlus 8T launching with OxygenOS 11 based on Android 11 this October 14, we can expect the OnePlus 8 will also get the same. The Open Beta 1 rolled out last month for the OnePlus 8 and OnePlus 8 Pro. We know that the new version is offering a design UI detour for an enhanced experience and possibly the Always-On display feature too. Over the weekend, the Chinese mobile OEM has officially released OxygenOS 11 for the OnePlus 8 series.
