I’ve been writing about technology for two decades and am routinely struck by how the sector swings from startling innovation to persistent repetitiveness. My areas of specialty are wearable tech, cameras, home entertainment and mobile technology.
Every three months, Google releases what’s called the Quarterly Platform Release, delivering new features and bug fixes to Google Pixel phones. The latest version due to reach general release is QPR2, out next week .
There’s good news as well, though. You can install this update successfully providing you don’t sideload. Of course, this can take longer to download than sideloading a file, which is one of the reasons side load at all. First, Ukraine Shoots Down Two of Russia’s A-50 Radar Planes. Then Russia Prepares A Replacement A-50. So Ukraine Targets Its Factory.Instead, if you’re eager to try the beta at this stage, go to Settings, then System, then Software Updates and choose System Update. Using this route, it should install smoothly enough.
The software, which is for Pixels from the Pixel 5a and later, is almost exclusively about correcting mistakes, squishing bugs and preventing device crashes, issues that had arisen in the previous beta, which was released in February. These include fixing an issue causing the device to crash, display a blank, black screen and other issues that impact system stability. You don’t want any of those.
