Extreme Android User
OnePlus have just started the Open Beta 12/4 OTA roll out for the OnePlus 6/6T to test a whole host of new features and fixes that may or may not, come to future firmware updates. You will only receive this test firmware OTA if you are already on their Open Beta releases.

Changelog

System
  • Added OnePlus Laboratory (???)
  • Gaming mode enhancement
  • Optimizations for screenshot
  • Supported quick reply in landscape mode, so that it's easier to reply to new messages when watching videos

Clock
  • Now supports world clock with weather information
Camera version 3.0.16

WARNING! Open Beta releases are for competent and experienced users since they may not always be stable and are for the purposes of testing and reporting to OnePlus to help them develop future stock firmware and features. By installing this Open Beta, you accept the potential risks. Once on the Open Beta pathway you will no longer receive the regular OnePlus, Official Stable OTA's and you will need to completely wipe your phone before attempting to return to Official Stable OnePlus stock firmware.

If you have the McLaren OnePlus 6T you, "may", lose the McLaren Warp Charge animation/facility by flashing this Beta firmware.

(N.B. Open Beta is not available for the non stock, T-Mobile carrier minority variant)

This the 4th Open Beta release in 42 days

[UPDATE] There is a temporary pause in the rollout of Beta 4. There seems to be an issue with downloading apps from the Play Store using mobile data. I just checked and it does seem so although I can do so over Wi-Fi. A reboot temporarily fixes the Play Store on mobile data issue I've found.

[UPDATED update]
There is more to the temporary withdrawal of not only the OnePlus 6 & 6T Beta updates, 12 & 4, but also the 5 & 5T as it appears the incremental, (small downloads), could be causing boot loop issues.
Because I am rooted I received the full beta update, (about 1.68GB), and I was not affected.
A new roll out of the Betas will begin again as soon as the relevant fixes are applied... so, please be patient.
