Android 15 Beta Released for Pixel 9 Series
Following the release of Android 15 QPR1 Beta 1 for older Pixel devices, Google is now making the beta version available for the Pixel 9, Pixel 9 Pro, and Pixel 9 Pro XL. These brand-new Google smartphones, now arriving for pre-order customers, are included in the latest build update (ap31.240617.015). This gives users a chance to experience the latest features before the official launch.
How to Install the Android 15 Beta
If you own a Pixel 9, Pixel 9 Pro, or Pixel 9 Pro XL, you can now enroll your device in Google’s Android Beta Program. Initially, these new devices were not appearing on the Android Beta for Pixel website, but they have since begun to show up. If your device still isn’t visible, patience might be required, or you may opt to manually install the beta by flashing the factory images, though this involves extra effort.
Important Considerations and Future Updates
Once enrolled in the beta program, you should receive an over-the-air (OTA) update to the beta version. However, it is crucial to remember that beta software can be unstable and may contain bugs. Backing up your data before installation is highly recommended to avoid potential issues. As Android 15 inches closer to its official release, expect Google to continue refining the software and addressing any remaining bugs. Future beta releases will likely bring further improvements, optimizations, and potentially new features not included in the initial beta.
For those eager to explore the newest features of Android 15, this beta release for Pixel 9 series marks an exciting opportunity. Ensure caution and preparedness when dealing with beta versions, and stay tuned for more updates as Google enhances its next-generation software.
