Should I install OnePlus Android 10 DP3?

OnePlus was quick to highlight the update isn’t suitable as a daily driver yet and you may run into rough corners every now and then. So, unless you are a developer or know exactly what you are doing, it’s not a good idea to install Android 10 DP3 on your OnePlus 6/7 device.

Known issues

For OnePlus 7 and 7 Pro, OnePlus lists these issues:

  • Known Issues
  • Application compatibility problems
  • You may face stability issues.
  • User data will be cleared for DP1 & DP2 upgrading

For OnePlus 6 and 6T, OnePlus lists these issues:

  • While in Ambient display screen, FOD does not appear, the power button needs to be pressed.
  • You may face stability issues.
  • Application compatibility problems

Going back to Android 9 Pie

Well, that’s very easy. All thanks to OnePlus for providing the rollback builds that take you straight to Android Pie from Android 10 DP3 if you so wish to.
