While we are still waiting for the fifth beta update, Google is rolling out Android 14 beta 4.1. The latest release is a follow-up to the last beta build that arrived some weeks ago. As expected, the update addresses issues and improves performance.
The latest Android 14 beta 4.1 didn’t bring any new features. It’s a fixed build to address issues reported after the last release. According to the update log, Pixel Fold and Pixel Tablet get a chunk of these fixes. Perhaps, it’s because both devices didn’t start testing at the same time with Pixel phones.
