Google’s Beta program offers early access to upcoming features and improvements for Pixel device users. This allows users to experience the latest Android features ahead of the curve, it’s important to note that these Beta releases may contain bugs or other issues that can affect device performance, and this is exactly what happened with the latest Android 13 QPR3 Beta 3 Update, which recently rolled out to Pixel devices some days back.

Users reported System UI crashes & Laggy Interface

Last week’s Android 13 QPR3 Beta 3 update has caused headaches for many users. While it’s common to encounter bugs when you join a Beta program, the QPR Betas are supposed to be less problematic than the Android system Betas. However, users have been complaining of persistent issues like System UI crashes and a lagging user interface, which can be quite disruptive towards the functioning of any device.

Some users on Reddit have been discussing their experiences with QPR3 Beta 3 and the problems it has caused. Some have reported experiencing multiple full freezes daily, while others have noticed issues with the display and Peacock streaming service. Even when users try to submit feedback about these issues through the app, it’s freezing too.

It’s worth noting that QPR3 Beta 3 leaves Pixel users on the March security update, raising questions about the missing April security patch. The eligible Pixel models for the QPR3 Beta program include the Pixel 4a, Pixel 4a (5G), Pixel 5, Pixel 5a, Pixel 6, Pixel 6 Pro, Pixel 6a, Pixel 7, and Pixel 7 Pro. The program should end on June 5th with the release of the June Quarterly Feature Drop, which will provide a stable public build to exit the Beta program.

While it’s frustrating to deal with these issues, it’s important to remember that the Beta program is designed to help Google identify and fix these bugs before releasing the final update to the public. Still, if users are experiencing persistent issues and can’t cope with the same on their primary devices, it may be worth exiting the program and waiting for the stable public build. In the meantime, Google is likely working to address the reported issues to ensure a smoother experience for its users.
