Android P public beta is here. Now you can download and install Android P public beta on the supported Android smartphones. You can follow my previous article on how to install the Android O public beta. The Android P was earlier available for developers, but now Google has released the beta testing users publicly.

There is no name assigned to the new version. You have to wait for the final release to know what is behind the P. The official launch of Android P won’t happen until late night, however you don’t need to wait that long to try P’s new gestures, watch the new appearance, and go over the depressing data showing just how long you are spending on your cell phone.

Should I install Android P Public Beta?

The new generation of the Android operating system has a lot of advanced features and AI. The machine learning makes it different from other smartphone OS available in the market. If you are curious in testing new tech things, then you should give it a try.

But, remember that it is still in the beta version; so, it might be buggy. You may get a good look at what’s in store for Android, and if you don’t enjoy it or even find it too buggy it is possible to simply revert to a previous OS.

Who Gets the Android P Beta?
