Android 11 Released, Starts Rolling Out for Google Pixel Phones: Here’s What’s New
If you have a Pixel 2 or later model, you can now experience Android 11.
Android 11 has been released with “easier ways” to help you manage your conversations and more
Android 11 is here. The new Android version isn't meant to provide an overhaul of the operating system but to provide “easier ways to help you manage your conversations, connected devices, privacy, and much more”. One of the major additions that Android 11 brings to your phone over Android 10 is a dedicated space for conversations. However, the latest Android version also adds new privacy-focussed changes. Google has released Android 11 for Pixel 2 and later models. But if you don't own a Pixel phone, Android 11 is coming to select OnePlus, Oppo, Realme, and Xiaomi phones.
Android 11: How to download, install
If you have a Pixel 2 or later Pixel phone, Google will provide you with a notification for downloading Android 11 over-the-air. You can alternatively check for the update by going through Settings > System > System updates. Google has also published the Android 11 OTA update files for all the compatible Pixel phones that you can sideload manually after downloading them onto your handset. Furthermore, Android 11 factory images are available to let you flash the new operating system onto your Pixel phone. Flashing the new update will erase all your existing data, though.
The list of eligible devices for Android 11 initially includes the Google Pixel 2, Pixel 2 XL, Pixel 3, Pixel 3 XL, Pixel 4, Pixel 4 XL, and Pixel 4a. However, OnePlus has confirmed that the OnePlus 8 and OnePlus 8 Pro will also get Android 11 update through an open beta of OxygenOS 11 in North America, Europe, and India. Oppo is bringing the Android 11 open beta for the Oppo Find X2 and Oppo Reno 3 series initially. Similarly, Realme has announced Android 11 Preview release for the Realme X50 Pro. Xiaomi is also bringing Android 11 to the Mi 10 and Mi 10 Pro.
