We study the detection of beyond-quantum nonlocal states that can exist in a theoretical model whose local systems are standard quantum theory in the framework of general probabilistic theories (GPTs). We find that device-dependent detections are possible for beyond-quantum nonlocal states in GPTs even though device-independent detections are not valid. We give a device-dependent detection based on local observables to distinguish any beyond-quantum nonlocal state from all standard quantum states. In particular, we give a way to detect any beyond-quantum nonlocal state of the two-qubit system by observing only spin observables on local systems. Our results will help in the experimental detection of beyond-quantum nonlocality or justification of standard quantum theory.
