Google ha rilasciato la beta 2.2 di Android 14 QPR1: sono ben 34 i bug risolti

A due settimane esatte dal rilascio della precedente patch correttiva e a circa un mese dal rilascio della beta 2, Google ha avviato il rilascio della beta 2.2 di Android 14 QPR1 sui Pixel supportati degli utenti registrati al programma beta di Android.

Si tratta a tutti gli effetti di una nuova patch correttiva che va a risolvere tantissimi bug presenti nelle precedenti versioni in anteprima. È l’ennesimo passo in questo che è il primo ciclo di sviluppo trimestrale di Android 14 che terminerà a dicembre con il rilascio della versione stabile di Android 14 QPR1 e del Pixel Feature Drop di dicembre (che sarà il primo per Android 14 e l’ultimo di questo 2023).

Android 14 QPR1: arriva la beta 2.2, un’importante patch correttiva

Come anticipato in apertura, Google ha rilasciato, agli utenti registrati al programma beta di Android, la nuova beta 2.2 di Android 14 QPR1, seconda patch correttiva, utile per risolvere alcune problematiche della beta 2 (potete trovare qua tutte le novità). Per la precisione, sono 34 i bug risolti.

Il colosso di Mountain View prosegue spedito nel percorso di sviluppo che culminerà con il rilascio in forma stabile del nuovo aggiornamento trimestrale del sistema operativo del robottino verde, atteso a dicembre 2023 assieme al prossimo Pixel Feature Drop.

A ogni modo, la nuova build distribuita da Big G su tutti i dispositivi compatibili (anche sui Pixel 8) è la U1B2.230922.013 (con le patch di sicurezza aggiornate a ottobre 2023, le ultime finora disponibili), e ha un peso di 39,97 MB su Google Pixel 7 Pro (provenendo dalla precedente beta 2.1).

Alla pari di qualsiasi altra versione in anteprima, anche la nuova beta 2.2 di Android 14 QPR1 può essere installata registrando al programma Android Beta uno degli smartphone e tablet compatibili:

I già iscritti al programma Android Beta che eseguono la precedente beta 2.1 di Android 14 QPR1, riceveranno la nuova beta 2.2, la quarta di questo ciclo di sviluppo, come se fosse un normalissimo aggiornamento tramite OTA, installabile attraverso il percorso “Impostazioni > Sistema > Aggiornamento di sistema”.

Qualora invece vogliate ricevere le versioni in anteprima del primo ciclo di sviluppo intermedio di Android 14 ma non avete partecipato al programma beta, vi basterà raggiungere la pagina dedicata al programma Android Beta (raggiungibile tramite questo link), raggiungere la sezione “I tuoi dispositivi idonei”, cliccare su “Registra” e accettare termini e condizioni per partecipare al programma.

A questo punto, lo smartphone registrato riceverà l’ultima versione in anteprima disponibile di Android 14 QPR1 come se fosse un normalissimo aggiornamento tramite OTA (da scaricare e installare con la stessa procedura descritta poco sopra).
