Android 13 QPR2 Beta 1 is available now, just a week after December’s Pixel Feature Drop
We might be in the midst of the holiday season, but that doesn’t mean the tech world is slowing down. Just a week after releasing the firstFeature Drops in a post-Pixel 7world, Google has returned with its first beta for QPR2. Consider it an early Christmas gift, perfect for delivering a preview of what to expect ahead of a planned stable release in March.
As is usual for QPR drops,today’s launchshowed up without much expectation — and, in fact, much later in the day than usual. Google did warn testers that QPR2 was on its way last week, giving everyone seven days to opt out before rolling out the patch. We expect to stumble onto plenty of secrets once we all have the update installed on our devices, but for now, it’s possible to check out thefull list of known issues below.

As with the first QPR for Android 13, every Pixel phone from the Pixel 4a and onwards is eligible to opt into this beta. If you’ve been a part of the QPR1 beta program over the last few months and you didn’t unroll in the last week, an OTA should arrive on your phone sometime tonight. If you want to dive headfirst into new software, you could also grab theimage filesorOTAsdirectly from Google’s downloads site.
