Google will start rolling out the stable Android 14 update in the coming weeks. The tech company has just released the last scheduled Android 14 beta build to eligible users.
With the Android 14 beta 5 now available to eligible users, the stable rollout will commence in the coming weeks. The update is expected to arrive on Pixel phones first, before other OEMs will start adopting the build.
Ahead of the stable Android 14 release, the beta 5 is the “last chance to make sure your apps are ready and provide feedback before non-beta users start getting Android 14.” This gives time for the likes of Samsung, Xiaomi and others to test their system apps with the upcoming OS update.
Of course, the latest build focuses on bug fixes and system improvement. Below are all the issues resolved with the latest update.
