  • Google is rolling out the Android 15 QPR1 Beta 1 update.
  • Eligible devices include: Pixel 6, 6 Pro, 6a, 7, 7 Pro, 7a, 8, 8 Pro, 8a, and the Pixel Tablet series
  • If you’re already enrolled in the Beta program, you don’t have to do anything.

It was only about a week ago when Google teased Android 15 Quarterly Platform Release 1 (QPR1) Beta 1. The company didn’t provide a release date, but suggested it was coming sooner than later. Now the update has started rolling out to Pixel devices.

If you’re not familiar with how Google’s OS updates work, the company usually operates on a quarterly release schedule, just as the QPR label suggests. For example, Google will usually launch a major OS update, such as Android 15, then will follow that up with a QPR1, QPR2, and QPR3 update. QPR betas are more stable than developer previews and are often suitable for general use.
