Google has begun the second beta of Android 13 QPR3, the last QPR release based on Android 13. Today’s update resolves a number of issues raised by Pixel users in the previous beta, which was published two weeks ago. The most recent beta is now available on the Android Beta Program for Pixel owners.
Google distributes a newer beta with the version number T3B2.230316.003. As previously stated, the update is currently available, and the incremental beta weighs 76MB on the Pixel 6a and 92MB on the Pixel 7 Pro, according to Pixel owners. The update is based on the monthly security patch for March 2023.
The Pixel 4a, Pixel 4a (5G), Pixel 5, Pixel 5a, Pixel 6, Pixel 6 Pro, Pixel 6a, Pixel 7, and Pixel 7 Pro are all eligible for the latest update.
