As August comes to a close, Google is gearing up for its upcoming September Feature Drop, a software update that has been in testing as Android 17 QPR1. This update reached Beta 9 just earlier this month, but Google has more in store for its users. The latest in this series is the Android 17 QPR2 Beta 4, which has been launched today for Pixel testers.
What’s New in Android 17 QPR2 Beta 4
Android 17 QPR2 Beta 4 is being rolled out to Pixel testers and comes in two builds: CP41.260814.003.A2 and CP41.260814.003.B1, depending on the specific hardware model. This update is part of the ongoing development process leading up to the major year-end feature release.
Device Compatibility and Limitations
Despite the recent launch of the Pixel 11, Google has not yet made QPR2 available for this latest model. The current support list for Beta 4 includes devices up to the Pixel 10 series. Unfortunately, the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro are excluded from this iteration, as they will fall outside of Google's software support window by the time the stable version is released.
Exploring New Features
Google has not provided an updated list of fixes or enhancements included in Beta 4. For now, users are encouraged to explore the update themselves and see if they can uncover any new features or improvements. The community is invited to share their findings in the comments section.
