Google typically releases updates for its Android operating system annually. Although many analysts and experts predicted the release of Android 14 in August, the final version is still not available to the average user as of September. However, Google has demonstrated its continued commitment to innovation with another update.
Users and developers who are interested in experimenting may have already installed the Android 14 beta for some time. Google has unexpectedly released another update, version 5.3, which is likely to be the last pre-release version. Unfortunately, this version does not yet include the current security patch for September 2023, but it does fix the remaining bugs before the final release of Android 14. The operating system will also be further optimized for foldable devices. The changelog for the current release is available here.
Google provides the current beta for Google Pixel users on its website. Considering the stable release of Android 14 is imminent despite the delay, cautious users should decide whether to download and install the beta version now. Patient users may prefer to wait for the 'Made by Google' event on 4 October. We should receive definitive information about the final release at this location at the latest - if not the update itself.
