Android 14 arrived on compatible Pixel smartphones in Developer Preview a few days ago, but the new version of Google’s operating system will soon qualify for public betas, followed by a stable release. The calendar provided by Google is very similar to last year.
The company has announced that Android 14 will receive a new Developer Preview in March, after which the operating system will finally be ready to enter the beta phase. This will be a public releaseso those who are most impatient to give feedback to Google will be invited to try the new version.
Android 14 will arrive in beta in April
This In April, Google should release Beta 1 of Android 14. This will be followed by a second beta in May that will add new features. It is also possible that some of them will be presented by the company at the annual Google I/O conference that will take place at the same time.
Google will launch in June beta 3, which will be the first release candidate. This means that the developers will have finished setting up their apps and the main features will have already been added. In July, we should see the arrival of the last two betas will mainly try to fix the latest bugs of Android 14without adding functionality.
Finally, we expect this stable version coming in August, at the same time as Android 13 last year. We do not know exactly which smartphones will be compatible with this new version, but we guess that all models released after Pixel 5 will be in the game. Unlike other manufacturers, all eligible Pixels will receive the update at onceIncluding the Pixel 7a, which will be released in the spring.
While we wait for the stable version to be released, we let you follow our guide if you want to install the Developer Preview version on your smartphone. As always, there is a queue of warnings. As the name suggests, this version is intended for developers and therefore may contain major bugs or be missing some key features. Therefore, we recommend that you do not install it on your main device.
