OxygenOS 11 Release Date
We realize that Google I/O 2020 isn’t occurring due to coronavirus concerns. The arranged online dispatch occasion for June 3, hasn’t occurred either. Google currently has released the main Android 11 beta on June 10. More Android 11 beta will come in July and August, trailed by the last stable discharge in September (most likely). The stable Android 11 will be most readily accessible for the eligible Pixel telephones.
