Android Q Beta: How to download on Pixel phones and new features

Android Q – the next version for the world’s most popular mobile operating system – is now available to download as beta. Google has been adding the final touches to Android Q, which is finished now. Android Q adds incremental updates to what its prequel Android Pie already offers. In a detailed blog post by Dave Burke, VP of Engineering in Google, he mentioned the newest version brings in some much-needed changes like better privacy control and support for foldable phones – which is on its way to being the hot cake in the smartphone market.

However, the Android Q Beta 1 has only been released for all Pixel devices, including all the first-gen Pixel phones, and Pixel XL. The update will possibly make its public debut in the third quarter of this year. The factory images are now available via Google’s Android website and Pixel users can download them to flash their devices.
