Android 14 Beta 3 is now available!
Google has just released the third beta for Android 14. And it does bring in a few changes, but as you might expect with the third beta, not to much is new. We’re set for one more beta and then the release candidate should be available in August.
This beta does bring support for the Google Pixel 7a, which the company announced at I/O last month in Mountain View. That means that even more Pixel devices will be able to check out Android 14, ahead of the release in a few months. Android 14 beta is also available from partners like OnePlus, OPPO, Xiaomi and others.
What’s new in Beta 3
So what’s new in Beta 3? There are a few changes that Google is highlighting here. Like the ability for non-linear font scaling up to 200% by default. Google has also added the ability to grant partial access to photos and videos. This is something that Apple actually just added in iOS 17 announced this week.
On top of that, data safety information is now more visible. The system will show users a comprehensive view of changed data sharing practices. And finally, OpenJDK 17 updates to refresh the core libraries and align with features in the latest OpenJDK LTS releases.
So as you can tell here, this is mostly a developer-focused update to Android 14, which is expected. Since beta 4, which will launch next month, will have the final APIs for Android 14. And at that point, developers will be able to start submitting Android 14-compatible apps into the Play Store.
As mentioned, we should get one more beta update in July, and then a release candidate in August before the final release. Which is typically around Labor Day. In the past, it has launched just before Labor Day, and other years it has launched just after. But still ahead of Apple’s new iPhone and iOS 17.
