Delhi : News about Android 14 QPR1 beta releases has surfaced within the last several weeks. The December 2023 Pixel feature drop will include the new features from these betas. However, Google has released the first beta of Android 14 QPR2, which will be available in March 2024. The Android 14 QPR1 beta program is officially closed as of the release of this latest beta. The last Pixel feature release of the year, which includes the things we've seen in that test program, will happen in December.

Additionally, Google contributes these features to the Android Open-Source Project (AOSP), so standard Android has them. Some functions will only be available on Pixel devices initially, but the majority should be available under Android skins like Samsung's One UI.

Although the Android 14 QPR beta releases have passed early testing and offer developers a reliable set of pre-release APIs, they are not authorized by the Compatibility Test Suite (CTS). On Android 14 QPR beta releases, apps that rely on CTS-approved builds or make use of SafetyNet APIs may not function as intended.
