With August nearly behind us, Google’s September Feature Drop could be nearly ready to arrive any day now. That’s the software the company’s been testing as Android 17 QPR1, which hit its Beta 9 release earlier this month. But that’s not all that Google’s been cooking up, and we’ve also been following work on what’s likely to be our big year-end update, in development now as QPR2. It’s been two weeks since QPR2 Beta 3 landed, and today Android 17 QPR2 Beta 4 is arriving right on schedule.
Google shares that Android 17 QPR2 Beta 4 is arriving today for Pixel testers, either as build CP41.260814.003.A2, or CP41.260814.003.B1, depending on your hardware.
Despite the Pixel 11 hitting retail availability last week, so far Google hasn’t released QPR2 for it, but the company says it should be available soon. Like previous QPR2 versions, the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro aren’t supported, as they’ll be outside Google’s software window by the time this Feature Drop has its stable release.
With this release, Google says that QPR2 Beta 4 has reached platform stability. Here’s what Google shares is fixed:
We’ll also be diving in to hopefully spot any new features. If you manage to find any additional changes yourself, give us a shot down in the comments with your discovery.
If you’re a Pixel owner who’s interested in trying out Google’s latest in-development software, you can go ahead and register your device with the Android Beta Program to get started testing releases like today’s.
