Today, the Google officially released its first distribution Android 11 beta for Pixel Smartphones, and this marks the end of the first cycle of tests.
ΈThis marks the beginning of the second cycle for the development of the new operating system from Google with the beta indication, which is a prerequisite before its first fixed release becomes available Android 11.
Google usually hosts a big event to announce the release of the new operating system, but the COVID-19 pandemic and the ongoing protests over the death of George Floyd ruined the company's plans, and Google finally decided to hold an event. only on the internet.
So far, the new version does not seem to be much different from the previous version Android 11DP4 and today Android 11 beta. The biggest changes it offers are easier access to chat alerts, improved privacy and user security, but also better control of other devices that are usually connected to your Smartphone.
But there is some bad news: If you've been looking forward to installing the first version of Android 11 beta on a non-Pixel Smartphone, just forget it for now. The new beta will run on the latest Pixel Smartphones, and no other devices are currently supported.
This is a significant change from last year, when we saw many more Smartphones being supported by many of the most popular OEM manufacturers when the first beta version of the Android Q.
The good news is that Google plans to add other devices that will support Android 11 beta later, but at this time we do not know what these will be or when the support will start.
In the forum of XDA Developers A table has already been posted with the devices receiving the update, as well as the links for downloading the ROMs, if of course you also have one of the Pixel devices listed in the table.
