Google released the first developer preview of Android 14 in February. Earlier this month, the search giant dropped the first beta.
The company is expected to officially unveil the latest version of Android next week at Google I/O 2023. We are looking forward to the beta program from partner OEMs following the keynote.
Just like in previous years, Xiaomi will be part of the beta program. MIUI codebase reveals that the brand will be releasing Android 14 beta builds for 4 devices.
According to Xiaomiui, Xiaomi has started testing Android 14 builds on the following two smartphones and two tablets since April 25.
Next week, the company will likely officially announce the beta program for the general public. However, you will have to be a recruited tester to try out the latest software. The registrations for the recruitment will possibly open post-announcement.
Xiaomi will be accompanied by other OEMs providing Android 14 beta builds for their devices. Most other companies don’t require you to register to try out beta software. You can simply download and install beta builds by following instructions on their official developer/community website.
Android 14 is expected to hit stable in August. OEMs will begin rolling out the update to their eligible smartphones and tablets after that.
