In a month the Google I/O will take place, the company’s big event in which we will see its plans for the coming months. Much is expected of artificial intelligence (with a Google Bard in need of a facelift), of certain devices like the eventual Google Pixel 7a and, above all, of all the details of Android 14.
However, before the event, and as expected, Google released Android 14 public beta. Next, we are going to tell you how to install it and which devices can join this first public test.
How to register for the beta program to install Android 14
The truth is that Android 14 does not take us by surprise. Thanks to the preliminary versions for developers, we have seen features such as app cloning or improved management in Dual SIM mobiles. In addition, the system will be more secure against malware and we will have location through Bluetooth devices.
These are just some of the new functions and features of the next generation of Android and, if you missed any nails while waiting for the first betas, the system has finally left the circle of developers so that anyone who meets the conditions can try out the new Android.
One option is to manually install the OTA version, but we recommend signing up for the Google beta program. To join the beta program, you need to enter the program website (this URL google.com/android/beta) and click “Sign in” with the Google account you want to enter with. You may need to re-register even if you have already participated in a previous beta version of the system.
Once you are logged in, Find the device you want to register with and click “Join”. In this way, you will bind the device and, after agreeing to a series of terms of service, you will have to wait. Within a maximum of 24 hours you will receive an update with the beta version.
If the notice does not appear, you can always try to force it by going to Settings > System > Advanced > System update.
On which mobiles can we install the beta of Android 14?
The truth is, Google was pretty generous when it came to letting us beta test Android 14, because there’s a wide range of devices in which you can install it. Then we leave you the list:
If you don’t have a Pixel, we will have to wait for the manufacturers to announce their plans to allow us to gradually install these betas. In the end, if you have a mobile with a very refined version of the system, like the Nothing Phone (1), you have more possibilities, but you never know.
As we always say when it comes to betas, keep in mind that this is a pre-release versionthat there is a lot of work to be done and that the program is designed for developers to start adapting and testing their new programs with a wider range of users, but also for us to give feedback.
There may be problems, things may not work, or the battery may last less. This is all perfectly normal, and once inside you will gradually receive new, more complete beta builds.
