OxygenOS 14 Closed Beta Testing Program Released for OnePlus 10 Pro Users
OnePlus is adding another device to their OxygenOS 14 Closed Beta program. Now OnePlus 10 Pro users can experience the OxygenOS 14 update, which is based on Android 14 through the CBT program.
If you’re an Indian user of the OnePlus 10 Pro and have a knack for exploring the latest software while providing valuable feedback, this is your golden opportunity. By joining the Closed Beta Testing (CBT) program, you can be among the first to experience OxygenOS 14, contribute feedback, and help enhance the software for everyone.
The program aims to enroll 500 participants with OnePlus 10 Pro IN devices who meet the specified criteria. Additionally, OnePlus has prepared rewards to recognize and thank those who actively participate in the CBT and contribute significantly to its success.
A few things to keep in mind: CBT versions may require flashing builds, which can result in data loss, so be sure to back up your data. These versions are still under development and are not considered stable builds. As a CBT tester, you should be prepared to encounter instability, risks, and issues as part of the testing process.

OnePlus has in the past announced a new update policy for its smartphones, OnePlus 8 and 8 Pro were among those happy users who were excited about OxygenOS 14 but sadly, it looks like these devices will soon be considered under the EOL (End of Life) category after a few months from now.
After the announcement of the OxygenOS 14 Close Beta tester for the OnePlus 8T, it has now been confirmed that the OnePlus 8 and 8 Pro will be left behind in the race for software updates. Below, you can check out a screenshot from the Oneplus community about the requirement for Close Beta testers for the OnePlus 8T.
Generally, the company releases the updates together for the entire OnePlus 8 Series including Oneplus 8T but this time Oneplus announced the closed beta program for Oneplus 8T excluding Oneplus 8 and 8 Pro. Oneplus 8T might get the OxygenOS 14 stable build next year depending on how the close beta testing and open beta testing programs go. But it’s confirmed that Oneplus 8 and 8 Pro users won’t get OxygenOS 14.
Oneplus 8 and 8 Pro were released in the month of April 2020. So as per the even new policy OnePlus 9 Series and Oneplus 8 Series will only get three years of major OS updates and four years of security updates. So the Oneplus 8 and 8 Pro which were released in April 2020 already received three major OS updates; now they will only receive security patches before they are considered under EOL (End of Life) category. But Oneplus 8T was released in the month of October 2023 so that just completed three years. But before October, we already had a few OxygenOS 14 builds for higher-end Oneplus smartphones, so technically, Oneplus 8T should get OxygenOS 14, not Oneplus 8 and 8 Pro. How many of you guys have Oneplus 8 and 8 Pro? Let us know below.
