How to sign up
You can get started with Beta 1 today by
enrolling any Pixel device (including Pixel and Pixel XL). If you were previously enrolled in the Android P Beta Program, you must enroll again to receive Android Q. Once enrolled, eligible devices will receive an over-the-air (OTA) update to the latest beta version.
Note: it may take up to 24 hours to receive the OTA update on your device. You can check for updates by going to Settings > System > System updates. Thanks for your patience!
Downloadable system images for Pixel devices are also
available. As always, you can use the Android Emulator, and download the latest emulator system images via the SDK Manager in Android Studio.
What is in Android Q beta?
Android Q introduces a variety of new capabilities for users and developers including additional privacy and security features for users, as well as enhancements for foldables, new APIs for connectivity, new media codecs and camera capabilities, NNAPI extensions, Vulkan 1.1 support, faster app startup, and
more.
This is just the start - there will be more features and capabilities added later in the preview and we’ll have even more to share at
Google I/O in May.
