How to install OxygenOS Official Open Beta on your OnePlus 3/3T

OnePlus has always been enormous in providing seamless software experience to its customers. The first smartphone by the company, OnePlus One came with CyanogenOS which was a customizable Android operating system. Later, the company introduced OxygenOS which was also a great ROM and has been using the same since the birth of the OnePlus 2. OnePlus 3 and 3T have got OxygenOS Open Beta Build which was started since the launch of Android Nougat for the devices. The official open bet build is still getting updates with new changes and is slightly different from what you get out-of-the-box. The company rolls out updates separately for the normal OxygenOS users and for the open beta users. Here, the people using open beta build will get new features before the stock OxygenOS users get. As far as the beta builds numbers are concerned, OnePlus 3 currently has the Open Beta 19 whereas the 3T has Open Beta 10.
