Google Releases Android 16 QPR1 Beta 3 for Pixel Devices
Google has commenced the rollout of Android 16 QPR1 Beta 3 to eligible Pixel devices today, bringing the latest updates to users ahead of its stable September launch. This release, identified as build BP31.250610.004, notably includes the July 2025 security patch, enhancing the security posture of supported devices.
Quarterly Platform Releases (QPRs) are significant updates that introduce more substantial changes compared to routine monthly bug fixes. Historically, these beta versions are considered stable enough for general use, and Google officially reiterates this for Android 16 QPR1. Users can anticipate improved stability and new features as the platform progresses towards its final release.
The update is now available for a wide range of Pixel devices, including the Pixel 6, 6 Pro, 6a, Pixel 7, 7 Pro, 7a, Pixel Tablet, Pixel Fold, Pixel 8, 8 Pro, 8a, and the newer Pixel 9, 9 Pro, 9 Pro XL, 9 Pro Fold, and Pixel 9a, as well as the Android Emulator. Most users will receive the update via the Android Beta Program, though flashing or sideloading options are also available. Device-specific OTA sizes, such as 529 MB for the Pixel 9a, indicate a comprehensive update package.
