To finish off the week, Google sent out a last-minute update to the Android 15 QPR1 beta program to take care of any last minute bugs before the build is released in December to the public. The new QPR1 update should land on your Pixel phone as Android 15 QPR1 Beta 3.1 if you own a Pixel 6 up through the new Pixel 9 series.
As far as timing goes, we could see this build of Android 15 go stable within the next week. December is upon us and this QPR1 update that has been in testing for many months will be released as the big December quarterly update that is likely to be a part of a Pixel Feature Drop. Since this has 8 quite-specific bug fixes included, this sure looks like Google putting the finishing touches on things.
Again, if you own a Pixel 6, 6 Pro, 6a, 7, 7 Pro, 7a, 8, 8 Pro, 8a, 9, 9 Pro, 9 Pro XL, Pixel Fold, Pixel 9 Pro Fold, or Pixel Tablet, this update is headed your way, assuming you are a part of the Android Beta Program (sign-up) and didn’t move on to the Android 15 QPR2 beta program. I’m not sure how you would do that, but hey, it must be a possibility.
