- Google released Android 14 beta 5 today.
- The release is confirmed to be the final beta before the stable launch in the coming weeks.
- The Google Pixel 8 series will almost certainly be the first phones with Android 14 out of the box.
Since February, we’ve been seeing developer previews and betas of Android 14, the next major iteration of the world’s most popular operating system. Today, Google has capped off those releases with the final beta — well, finally planned beta, anyway.
Android 14 beta 5 follows Android beta 4.1, which landed towards the end of July. As one would expect, this last beta is filled with fixes and bug squashing. It’s possible there are new or updated features included, but the official changelog makes no mention of any. Once we have the beta installed, we’ll be able to investigate for ourselves.
