Introducing Android 17 QPR2 Beta 4: Now Available for Your Pixel Device!

As August draws to a close, Google’s highly anticipated September Feature Update is expected to be launched soon. This update has undergone testing labeled Android 17 QPR1, which reached its Beta 9 version earlier this month. However, in addition to this, Google is also making progress on the substantial year-end update, currently in the QPR2 development phase. Just two weeks post the release of QPR2 Beta 3, we now have the arrival of Android 17 QPR2 Beta 4 as expected.

Today, Google announced the rollout of Android 17 QPR2 Beta 4 for Pixel testers, available in two builds: CP41.260814.003.A2 and CP41.260814.003.B1, depending on your specific hardware configuration.

Although the Pixel 11 became available in stores last week, Google has yet to include it in the QPR2 release schedule. The most recent models supporting Beta 4 are part of the Pixel 10 series. Consistent with previous QPR2 iterations, the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro are not included, as they will fall outside Google’s software support timeline when the stable release of this Feature Drop occurs.

Currently, Google has not provided an updated list of enhancements for Beta 4. As a result, users will need to explore the software and report any significant changes they discover. If you uncover any updates, feel free to share your findings in the comments.

For Pixel users wishing to test the latest software from Google, registration with the Android Beta Program is the way to go, allowing you to participate in trials like today’s beta release.
