Google has now made Android 13 QPR3 Beta 1 for Pixel phones available! It’s time to experiment if that’s your thing.
Earlier today, we observed the pieces coming together, and now Google has released the factory image and OTA files for Android 13 QPR3 Beta 1. You’ll need a Pixel 4a, Pixel 5, Pixel 5a, Pixel 6 or 6 Pro, Pixel 6a, or Pixel 7 or 7 Pro to access this first QPR3 build.
As regards to what’s new, we’ll be getting right to it in a moment. Google has not released a list of the changes they have made, so we must flash the update ourselves and navigate the Interface.

We might find nothing significant or interesting that is in the works. Give us some time.
If you missed our earlier post on QPR (Quarterly Platform Release) builds, just know that these updates are crucial because they are released every three months, are frequently larger than the typical monthly update, and aim to fix or enhance a variety of issues with the current Android version, which is Android 13. Due to their importance and potential for improvement over time, Google now permits us to test these up to a stable release (this one will arrive in June).
Below, we have links to the factory image and OTA files to get folks updated the old school way, but you don’t need to go that route to get updated. In fact, you probably should go that route unless you are experienced in that area. You can always enroll in the Android Beta Program (here) and get the update over-the-air that way. For those who would rather avoid a command prompt and adb commands, do that. Google should begin pushing the update through the Android Beta Program shortly.
