Get Your Hands on Android 14 Beta 2 Without a Pixel Device

Google is already hard at work on the next version of Android, with pre-release builds of Android 14 having been available for a few months. However, until now, these builds have only been accessible to Google Pixel phone users. But this is changing with the arrival of the second beta, which brings a significant change in terms of device availability. Google is now expanding the update to a range of devices made by multiple other companies. If you own a Vivo X90 Pro or any of the other compatible devices, you could have the chance to try out Android 14 ahead of its official release in just a few months.

In addition to bug fixes and performance enhancements, the update introduces several new features that are likely to be included in the final version of Android 14. Health Connect is one of these features, allowing users to store and share health and fitness data among different applications and ecosystems. The user has full control over which data is shared and which is not.

Other notable improvements include predictive text, support for 10-bit HDR images embedded in the operating system, and lossless audio over USB. For a complete list of changes, it is recommended to review the release notes, particularly since the upcoming beta will be the final one with any new features before the operating system reaches platform stability prior to its official release.

If you have been using the beta version, be sure to download this update. And if you are interested in trying it for the first time, simply ensure that you have a compatible device, but remember that this is still a beta version, so some bugs may still be present.
