OnePlus Beta Test in India Excludes T-Mobile and Verizon Variants
What happened
OnePlus initiated an Open Beta Test program for ColorOS 17 across five smartphone models in India, including the OnePlus 15, OnePlus 15R, OnePlus 13, OnePlus 13R, and OnePlus 13s. The program, which runs from October 9 to October 12, is restricted to unbranded Indian units and explicitly excludes carrier-locked devices from T-Mobile and Verizon.

Why it matters
The rollout indicates direct market competition between OnePlus and T-Mobile and Verizon. By limiting the beta test to unbranded units, OnePlus is targeting specific segments of the Indian consumer market.
