Google on Wednesday released an early build of Android 11 for developers, about a month earlier than previous releases. The preview for developers work with Pixel and is available for download only developers will have to go through it manually. A public beta is expected to be released in May, possibly with Google's Google I / O developer conference.
Google has famously stopped naming new versions of its operating system after every big one information of Android and uses numbers. So we have the first Android 11.
Google warns regular users that the version it is only for developers and if they want to try it do not use it on their main phone.
The first developer preview is available for Pixel 2, Pixel 2 XL, Pixel 3, Pixel 3 XL, Pixel 3a, Pixel 3a XL, Pixel 4, and Pixel 4 XL. To install the preview, you will need to download the factory image of your device and install it manually. If you decide to try the preview and want to go back to Android 10, you will need to reset your device to laboratory settings.
Android 11 includes new APIs for connectivity and improvements to connections 5G for enterprise users using the Android Work Profile. Messages are also changing in Android 11, with a new approach to chats that allows wider access to Android 10's Bubbles feature.
Google has also announced the schedule for the upcoming Android 11 preview updates. The developer preview will be released by April, with the first beta likely to be released in May. Google will continue to update the beta throughout the third quarter of 2020, until the release of the final, official version of Android 11.
When developers start installing Android 11 to test their apps, more features will definitely be announced. But we'll probably have to wait until Google I / O launches in May to find out what new Google has added to Android 11.
