What’s new in Android 14 QPR2 Beta 1 update? How to install it
Google is rolling out Android 14 QPR2 Beta 1 update for its Pixel handsets including the Fold and Tablet. The latest firmware holds a handful of fixes and improvements for the device system. Although, do not forget that it’s a beta version and may drop some unwanted bugs to your phone.
On the flip side, the QPR1 is hearsay to reach the official stage by the next month. While users were expecting another QPR1 version, Google released a new upgrade. No doubt, it’s an unexpected move from the company side.
In terms of versions, the Pixel 5a models will pick the upgrade via a build number ending with 013. For the Pixel 8 series, it will be 014. And the rest of the devices will get it with the AP11.231020.013.A1 version.
