This week we told you how the lucky users who are signed up to the Android beta program could already enjoy the news that Android 7.1 offers on compatible devices. If you also want to be the first to receive the Android updates Below we explain the easiest method to achieve it.
And it is that many users always despair when they see how the days go by without them Android updates finish reaching their cell phones. If you are one of these frustrated owners of a terminal with the Google operating system, you will be interested to know that there is a way to sign up for different programs of Android beta to enjoy the news of the software before anyone else, or at least at the same time as any user signed up for the service.
Google devices
Google makes available to all users its Android Beta Program, a program in which you can sign up to receive the latest Android updates for Developers, also known as Developer Preview, which integrates the latest software developments.
The official website of the program we can register by selecting the compatible device model, taking into account that currently only the following terminals will be able to benefit from this service:
- Nexus 6, Nexus 9, Nexus 5X, Nexus 6P and Nexus Player
- Google Pixel
- Pixel C
Once registered in the program we will be able to receive the android update via OTA in the same way that this week has happened with version 7.1 of the operating system.
Sony Devices
Fortunately, there are companies that also intend to bring the latest Android N updates beyond Nexus or Pixel devices. An example of this we have in Sony, who has a program similar to Google to bring Android N and its updates to 2 variants of the Xperia Z3, the D6603 and D6653 models.
From its website you will find the necessary instructions to sign up for the Android N Developer Preview test program.
Motorola / Lenovo Devices
Lenovo, or Motorola also offer users the ability to enjoy the Android updates before the official versions of the operating system are released on the market. Our colleagues from another blog already told us in their day how to take advantage of this advantage offered by the company, formerly Motorola, now Lenovo.
It is the Motorola Feedback Network, a program for registered users of the brand in which we can register by registering a Moto X, Moto G or Moto E after establishing our username and password. The more we participate in the program by filling in surveys or participating in the different discussion forums on the web, the more possibilities we will have for our terminal to be chosen to receive one of the company's "soak tests".
