Google released the sixth and final Android Q beta (Beta 6) before the official release of the operating system later this fall. According to the Android Q release schedule, this is the last Beta release, which includes near-final system images for supported devices with various fixes, final APIs, latest system behaviors and more.
Google started to roll out the Android Q Beta 6 OTA update for Pixel smartphones. The update has also released for Essential Phone. Users already running the previous beta 5 will get the OTA update on the device. Other users can download and install the factory images manually or enroll for the beta program.
