The Pixel 9a can now participate in Google’s Android 16 Beta program
Sick of running your brand-new Pixel 9a with stable Android 15? Google's latest Android 16 Beta is waiting for you!
- Android 16 Beta 4 arrives today for Pixel devices.
- New owners of the Pixel 9a can now enroll in the Beta program, their first opportunity to do so.
- Downloads for the Pixel 9a should also be available soon.
Android development is proceeding a little differently this time around, with Google giving work on Android 16 a much earlier start than we’ve come to expect. But while Android 16 is moving on a bold new timetable, Google similarly pushed up its launch of the new A-series Pixel this year, and its latest Pixel 9a has already landed. With Android 16 Beta 4 arriving today for testers, that means the stars have finally aligned to bring the Pixel 9a in on the action.
Owners of the new Pixel 9a are now able to enroll their phone in Google’s Android Beta for Pixel program. Once you do so, you can look forward to receiving your Android 16 Beta 4 update as an OTA update, that you’ll get a notification to install.
