Latest Android Q Beta Now Available On Google Pixel Devices And 15 Non-Pixel Devices

During Google’s I/O keynote today, the search engine clearly had several topics to talk about, one of them obviously being the current state of its upcoming Android Q OS. On that note, the latest beta version of the OS is now available on all Google Pixels devices, plus 15 other non-Pixel devices.

What is surprising is Google’s decision to make the newest Android Q beta to its first Google Pixel device, especially since the phone – as pointed out by The Verge – it’s last major update was supposed to be Android 9 Pie. Unsurprisingly, the beta will be available to the Pixel 2 and Pixel 3 smartphone series.

As for the 15 other non-Pixel devices, the full list of these phones are as listed below:

• ASUS Zenfone 5z
• Essential PH-1
• Nokia 8.1
• Huawei Mate 20 Pro
• LG G8 ThinQ
• OnePlus 6T
• OPPO Reno
• Realme 3 Pro
• Sony Xperia XZ3
• Tech Spark 3Pro
• Vivo X27
• Vivo NEX S
• Vivo NEX A
• Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 5G
• Xiaomi Mi 9

Among the updated features available with the latest Android Q beta is the long-awaited Dark theme, plus new gesture mechanics that would seem familiar to people who have used the iPhone X and later.

In order to gain access to the new Android Q beta, you’ll need to be enrolled into Google’s Android Beta Program. As it is with all beta version of an OS, expect some bugs – both minor and major – to rear their ugly heads occasionally.
