Android 16 Beta 4.1
We wrote on Tuesday about the many news from Google about the update to Android 16, including an entirely new design, called Material 3 Expressive. This skin will be implemented with the upcoming update. In addition, there is good news for those with a Pixel device. In fact, Google will start rolling out the update to Android 16 next month, with other models to follow in the summer, the company announced yesterday.
Now Android 16 Beta 4.1 has been released, which is immediately available to those who are part of the testing programme. We see a range of improvements with this update for the Pixel devices. The new version, which immediately brings with it the April patch, is available for the Pixel 6 and newer.
