Android 11 beta is finally available on Pixel phones worldwide. The announcement comes amid speculations that Google will host its beta launch show when it is canceled and eventually canceled.

While Google still has no answer, it has gone ahead and released the highly anticipated Android 11 beta, which is available to anyone who wants to test it before the stable version at the end of this year.

Google’s Android 11 brings fine-tuned updates rather than changes in design and under-the-hood features.

Google’s latest Android version has improved 5G support, a streamlined notification panel, improved quick settings and a re-designed power button menu. The latest version also includes better privacy features.

If you want to test the latest Android 11 beta, here’s a quick guide on how to download and install the Android 11 beta.

First of all, you must have a Pixel smartphone because the Android 11 beta is currently installable on it. In fact, Google only supports Pixel 2 or more models for its latest Android version.

So, smartphones that are compatible with Android 11 beta – Pixel 4 XL, Pixel 4, Pixel 3A XL, Pixel 3A, Pixel 3 XL, Pixel 3, Pixel 2 XL and Pixel 2. You need the Nexus or smartphone for Android 4. .

In addition, you should make sure that you do not use the Pixel phone as your daily driver since the beta version of Android 11 may cause some initial problems and malfunctions on your primary device.

There are two ways to install Android 11 beta on your Pixel phone. The former is more complex and requires some level of expertise in flashing the phone ROM and unlocking the bootloader before you can begin the process of updating the latest software.

Another is that Google makes it easy to use a web tool called the Android Flash Tool, which performs more complex tasks and only gives you easy steps to take.

If you’re a pro, you may not need the second method and flash the ROM without any extra help, but if you don’t know how everything works, here’s how you can follow:

Before we get started, here are some important things to know: If you flash your Pixel device with the developer or beta version of Android, you will continue to receive updates under the same channel.

You won’t get a stable version of any software until you flash your device the same way again.

There are also some initial settings submitted by the Android Flash Tool, which you must accept before proceeding. These settings determine how you receive more updates and how your Pixel device works.

Let’s start with this process:

First of all, if you haven’t already, you need to enable developer settings on your Pixel phone. To do this, go to the About Phone section to find the build number. Tap on it about seven times to start the developer options.

Now, go back to the main settings page and scroll down to explore the developer options (which are usually at the end of the page). Enter developer options and find USB debugging and OEM unlocking options. Turn on both settings. Now you are headed to use the Android Flash tool.

For that, pick up your laptop, which is based on Windows, MacOS, Chrome OS and Linux. If you have a Windows laptop, you need to install an additional driver to locate your Android phone. Other platforms find the phone with the help of the browser.

Once you’ve installed the driver, it’s time to connect your Pixel device directly to the computer system. This means that you need to use a USB cable to connect without an extender or modem.

Also, make sure your device’s battery is at 60 percent. If you don’t plug into charging before you start the process.

The latest version of Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge is supported by the Android Flash tool, so you only need to open the website in these two browsers. Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge are available on all major platforms.

Now open the URL – flash.android.com in your browser to open the welcome page. A popup appears on either side of the URL bar: “Allow site to communicate with devices in your ADB keys.” Give access to the popup

After that, you need to click “Add New Device” at the bottom of the dialog box. As soon as you select the device you want to flash, click “Connect” and it will appear on the screen with its model number.

On the screen of your Pixel device, select “Always Allow From This Computer” from the popup and press “OK” to continue.

Now, select the device connected to the browser and select Android 11 Beta Build from the list. You are given two options: “Wipe Device” and “Lock Bootloader”. There are a few other options, such as “Force Flash All Disassembly”. If you select “Wipe Device”, all the data on your device will be deleted, so you have to return your device to the previous steps.

You can proceed without removing the entire device. The “Lock Bootloader” option locks the bootloader on your device and makes it safer without it.

Click “Install” and read the instructions available on the screen below. This basically states that you should not interact with your device while the upgrade process takes place with other standard precautions and warnings. Now, click “Confirm”.

Then a license agreement is submitted, which requires you to consent – after reading clearly. Now, click “I agree” and the update process will begin.

As soon as the process starts, the phone reboots into fast boot mode. In the process, Google will factory reset your device and lose all your settings, as well as anything stored in the main partition where the OS is installed.

If your device is unlocked, Google will ask you to unlock the bootloader you can by navigating to the boot menu using the volume button, and select the “Bootloader Unlock” option and power to confirm the press button.

Now, Android Flash Tool starts downloading and installing Android 11 Beta Build on your device. The entire process takes about half an hour, during which your device will re-launch more than once.

You do not need to communicate with your phone at this time. Android Flash Tool on your computer shows the progress of the update process.

Once the Android 11 Beta Build is installed on your Pixel device, you will be able to re-enable the Android 11 logo one last time. On your computer, the Android Flash tool greets you with a screen that says “Software updated successfully”. For any troubleshooting, you can visit the Android Developer website.
