Keeping the update train rolling, the company is now sending out another Open Beta update to the mid-ranger 5G smartphone. The new build might not be a huge update in terms of new features, but it does bring the latest Google Security Patches and a host of welcome bug fixes for the system.

Download: OxygenOS Open Beta 2 for the OnePlus Nord

As usual, we have the download links for the update right here.

You can either download the full OTA if you want to upgrade from OnePlus Nord's stable Android 10 release or you're rooted, or you can download the incremental package if you’re already on Open Beta 1 and you haven't modified the software. Either way, you can sideload the OTA by copying it to your phone’s internal storage and then choosing the "Local upgrade" option in the system updater app.
