In this guide, we will show you the steps to download and install the latest Android 13 builds on the OnePlus 10 Pro. A few months back, Google released the thirteenth iteration of the OS and since then, a few OEMs have already jumped into the bandwagon. And as of now, OnePlus has also hoped into this train. It has just rolled out the first open beta build for its flagship. As a result, you are about to welcome a slew of new and intriguing features onto your device.

While the OxygenOS and ColorOS unified codebase plan has been put on hold, however, the long-term OnePlus users would easily be able to distinguish that the latest Android13 builds still has more of Oppo’s touch than OnePlus’ originality. However, that is the only way forward and we don’t have much say on that. On an optimistic note, it is still good news that the OEM was relatively quick to roll out the update package in a timely manner. So without any further ado, let’s get started with the steps to download and install the latest Android 13 builds on the OnePlus 10 Pro.
