OnePlus has started rolling out Android 12 Beta or the Developer Preview Program again for the OnePlus 9 and OnePlus 9 Pro devices after the initial rollout was halted due to the issues faced by the users. The previous release caused bricking of the OnePlus phones reportedly. But now, OnePlus have made a comeback after a break with the latest release of the Android 12 Beta release for the OnePlus 9 and OnePlus 9 Pro mobile phones.
The latest update for the OnePlus 9 and the OnePlus 9 Pro was announced on the official OnePlus Forum and that is when OnePlus announced the Android 12 Beta release for the OnePlus series. OnePlus acknowledged the previous version’s bugs in the official statement, “After careful testing and verification, we’re releasing a new Developer Preview Program for the OnePlus. This new version is a hotfix build that fixes the issue that caused the original version to get stuck during Factory Reset Protection (FRP) check”.
So, what we can gather from the statement is that the bricking issues on the OnePlus 9 and OnePlus 9 Pro from the previous Android 12 Beta updates are fixed, and OnePlus has carefully tested and verified the latest Android 12 Beta update. But still, there are certain risks and known issues with the latest Android 12 Developer Preview Program for the OnePlus devices.
