Google kicks off Android 14 Beta 5.2 while we wait for the 2nd One UI 6 Beta
Google has released Android 14 Beta 5.2, which fixes various bugs for Pixel devices, especially the Fold and Tablet versions. The update is part of the Android Beta Program, which allows users to test the latest features and improvements of Android 14 before its official launch.
This update also comes with the August 2023 security patch, which enhances the security and performance of the devices. The update has nine fixes that address different issues that users have reported or encountered while using their Pixel devices.
These nine issues are mainly related to rebooting, cellular connectivity, fingerprint sensor, animations, system UI, screen flickering, colored bars, and sounds.
The update is available for Pixel 4a 5G, 5, 5a, 6, 6 Pro, 6a, 7, 7 Pro, 7a, Tablet, and Fold devices that are enrolled in the Android Beta Program. Users can download the update over-the-air (OTA).
Aside from this, Samsung is currently testing One UI 6 Beta 1 on Galaxy S23 devices and has also started preparation for a second beta update. Hopefully, the company will release the next beta update at the end of August or early September 2023.
