The next major version of Google’s mobile OS is debuting as a Beta release. Android 17 Beta 1 is rolling out today to Pixel devices.

The very first Android 17 Beta 1 build has been announced by Google. It's faster, smarter, and more adaptive than ever.

App developers won’t be able to opt out of screen orientation and resizing features on devices with bigger screens. But we otherwise don't get much of a hint about what Android 17 will look like.

Google's new Android desktop OS will feature persistent Gemini AI access via a status bar icon and keyboard shortcut for seamless real-time assistance.

Google releases the final Android 16 beta update, a maintenance patch for Pixel devices, before transitioning testers to the upcoming Android 17 beta.
