Google has released the Android 12 QPR3 Beta 3 update to eligible Pixel owners ahead of the public release, scheduled for next month. The current update brings May 2022 security patch and bug fixes for the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro users.
The Android 12 QPR3 (quarterly platform release) Beta 3 is seeding with a build number S3B1.220420.005. It is available for the Google Pixel 4 and newer models, including the Pixel 6, which got some bugs fixed with the update. Also, the update includes the May security patch that started seeding a couple of days ago.
According to the update log, the current build has some Pixel 6 bugs fixed:
- Fixed an issue on Pixel 6 Pro devices where a white line sometimes flashed on the screen after waking up a device that was not configured to always display time and other info on the screen.
- Fixed various issues to improve call quality and connectivity.
- Fixed a KeyStore issue that caused the NHS COVID-19 app to crash when launching.
Meanwhile, some issues have already been acknowledged for the current build. Hence, we recommend looking at these issues before downloading or enrolling in the beta tests.
