OnePlus has been testing its flavor of Android 13 based OxygenOS, for about four months already across its latest flagship phones. If you are interested in testing this beta on your OnePlus 9rt phone, You must need to know that beta versions are never as stable as final stable builds, so it is best avoided on your handset as you could run into bugs or other issues.
Still interested? Then please make sure your 9RT is running the latest OxygenOS 12 version (C.07) and have at least 30% battery and also have 5.5 GB of free storage before upgrading to the beta version.
