Android 11 updated to the beta 2: new features and changes

After several versions of Android 11 designed for developers, to early June, Google released the first beta of Android 11, a more stable version but still in development.

A few days after it released a second beta, although it was not the beta 2, but of a call 1.5 that corrected some major bugs of the first.

It has been today, July 8, when Google has made official the launch of its second beta of Android 11 to Google Pixel compatible.

In theory there remains only a last beta version, the 3, which presumably will arrive in August. After that would come the stable version, which seems to see the light of day on the 8th of September, at least for the Pixel.

Mobile in which you will be able to install

For the moment this beta is coming to Pixel 2, Pixel 3, Pixel 3a and Pixel 4 and its versions XL, pro is assumed that in a few days start to come to the handsets of other brands that also are compatible with this version of evidence.

There are models of Xiaomi, realme, OPPO, or OnePlus as I have on a list that manetnemos updated.

How to install the beta 2 of Android 11

To be able to install this version what you have to do is just check if there are pending updates in our Pixel and proceed to download. Are around 370 MB so it may take a bit since the servers are somewhat collapsed in the early hours.

This is so in the case of that since we were in the testing program. If not you have to follow these instructions.
