Android Q Beta 5 Now Available For Pixel Devices

The Android Q Beta 5 has been released for Pixel, Pixel XL, Pixel 2, Pixel 2 XL, Pixel 3, Pixel 3 XL, Pixel 3a, and Pixel 3a XL. The newest build arrives qpp5.190530.014 and is the first “release candidate” of Q.




With a release candidate, we should be getting close to final everything, with final APIs already available from the previous beta. This build should be the most stable and is probably worth you taking for a spin if you had been holding out. After this Beta 5, the final release candidate will be Beta 6 before Android Q is released into the wild as stable.
