Two weeks ago, Google released Beta 6 for Android 17 QPR1. Now we’re getting Beta 7, available now to all supported Pixel devices.
Suitable for everyday usage, Android 17 QPR1 became platform stable with Beta 6. This new beta appears to be more of a bug fixing update, but we’re still rummaging to see if we can’t spot anything major. We also aren’t seeing any missing downloads for specific phones, so that’s also good. Downloads for all Pixels back to the Pixel 6 lineup are available.
