Google launches Android 11 beta only for Pixel devices
By MYBRANDBOOK
Google has announced the launch of its first public beta for Android 11, the next big update of the popular operating system. The update is early as per the newly revised schedule that Google posted earlier owing to the developer preview delays due to the ongoing pandemic.
Unlike Android 10’s first beta, users can install the new build on only a handful of devices. In comparison, when the first Android 10 beta rolled out, it supported about two dozen devices. The new beta supports only the Google Pixel 2 series, 3 series, 3a series, and Pixel 4 series.
It has been confirmed that this version and about two more Android 11 public beta builds will work on some non-Pixel devices too. However, which devices are supported, and when these builds will surface is still a mystery.
Android 11 features
The beta 1 release includes the final SDK and NDK APIs. Google will also open Play Store publishing for apps targeting Android 11. The update already includes some features previously not seen in the Developer Preview 4.
Google is allowing developers to enable media controls in Quick Settings with the release of Beta 1. As reported, Android 11 Beta 1 also brings a customizable power menu. This includes the option to control devices and wallet. There are also new app suggestions for Pixel Launcher dock, as noted by 9to5Google. The Android 11 Beta 1 brings new icon shape overlays including Vessel, Tapered Rect, and Pebble.
The Android 11 Beta 1 release also includes a new setting for Bubbles notifications. In Settings, users can head to Apps & Notifications followed by Notifications and then tap on Bubbles.
