Google’s beta schedule is generally quite stable season after season. We know that we have developer versions first. Then the beta phases are given, which after 3 or 4 versions give way to the final version of the system. And once that happens, “platform quarterly releases” begin.
So it only made sense that with Android 13 on the street since August, the first quarterly update is fast approaching and released this morning. Android 13 QPR1 Beta is already among usand will be received on all devices enrolled in the Android 13 beta program.
You can now update to Android 13 QPR1 Beta
As we said, Google has released the first major Android 13 update for beta program users. The so-called QPR1 Beta jumped this morning on the compatible mobiles of many users of the platform. The weight, as usual, is variable and depends on each model. On a Pixel 5 for example, the weight of this update is 363 MB.
The beta itself tells you, by the way, that if you want to leave the beta program now to stay with the stable version of Android 13, you can do it before the update. Of course, for future betas that you wish to try, you will need to “register” again. Or, if you prefer, wait until the Android 14 beta program kicks off in February 2024.
Included in this beta we found various bugfixes. For example, a bug that mistakenly dialed the emergency contact number from the lock screen. Or specific errors in terminals such as the Pixel 6a, which had problems unlocking the phone with the fingerprint. There are also other graphical fixes, such as one that fixes the bug that showed a 5G icon instead of the correct one.
This Android 13 QPR1 beta is already out and you should have a notification waiting for you on your mobile phone. If you haven’t received it yet, you can go to ‘Settings’ > ‘System’ > ‘System update’ and from there check if you already have it available for your cell phone. Remember that to update you will need a minimum of available battery.
