OnePlus may open OxygenOS 16 beta programme for Nord 4 users later this year

OnePlus appears to be preparing to expand its Android 16–based OxygenOS 16 testing programme to more devices. According to new leaks, the company may soon open applications for the Closed Beta Testing (CBT) phase on the OnePlus Nord 4, following its ongoing programme for the OnePlus 13 and OnePlus 13s.

Closed Beta Testing Expansion

Tipster Abhishek Yadav shared a screenshot on X (formerly Twitter) showing that after the August 2025 security patch update, a new option to apply for Closed Beta appeared in the Nord 4’s updater settings. Previously, no beta-related options were available. This strongly suggests that OnePlus is gearing up to let Nord 4 users participate in the CBT programme.

At present, the CBT programme for OxygenOS 16 is limited to the OnePlus 13 and 13s models, with around 300 participants per batch. OnePlus requires beta testers to be active members of its community, as their feedback helps refine the software before wider release. However, as these are early pre-release builds, they typically include bugs, unfinished features, and potential stability issues—making them best suited for advanced users or developers.
