Realme is part of Android 11 Beta program with its Realme X50 Pro smartphone. Even last year, the brand participated in the Android 10 Beta with its budget offering Realme 3 Pro. But unlike 2019, this year, the company has released Android 11 Beta 1 build with Realme UI instead of AOSP.

Though Realme has released Android 11 Beta 1 for Realme X50 Pro, it can be only installed on the Chinese variant with model number RMX2071. But it is worth noting that Madhav Sheth, CEO of Realme India also tweeted the availability of Android 11 Beta. Hence, we might see dedicated builds for Indian (RMX2076PU) and European (RMX2076EU) versions in the near future.

Further, the build that has been released now cannot be installed on Realme X50 Pro Player Edition. A separate build for this handset is expected to be made available sometime later this month.

Having said that, if you own the Realme X50 Pro Chinese variant, then you can install the Android 11 Beta 1 by downloading the appropriate file from the end of this post. Do note that it is not suitable for everyone as it may contain unknown bugs and performance issues. Also, it will factory reset your phone upon installing.

Anyway, the installation procedure is very simple. The only pre-requisite is that your device should be running RMX2017_11_A.20 build. If not, you can download it from here and install it just like Android 11 Beta as mentioned below.

Once you have downloaded the required ozip file, copy it to the root of your phone’s internal storage. Then, open the file manager and select the file to initiate the installation process. In the same manner, you can install the rollback file to revert back to the Android 10 stable release.

Xiaomi has officially released Android 11 Beta 1 build for Redmi K30 Pro/POCO F2 Pro as promised a few days back. Surprisingly, it is an AOSP build and not MIUI. Even iQOO has provided a similar build but Oppo Find X2 series gets a ColorOS 7.2  build.

The Android 11 Beta 1 for Redmi K30 Pro and POCO F2 Pro is available as a single common build as they are basically the same phone with different branding. It can be installed by anyone with an unlocked bootloader. But it is advisable to stay away if you are not a developer.

The installation process is similar to installing MIUI Fastboot ROM. So interested users will need the ROM file whose download link has been provided at the end of the post, Xiaomi MiFlash Tool, and device drivers.

Once all the above-mentioned things are sorted out, first extract the downloaded .tgz ROM file. Then, reboot the handset into Fastboot mode and open MiFlash tool on Windows PC/laptop. Now, connect the phone with the system and load the extracted ROM folder in the tool.

Lastly, click on ‘refresh’ to detect the device and select ‘clean all’ before hitting ‘flash’ to install the ROM. After the completion of the installation, the handset will automatically boot into Android 11 Beta 1 software.

Google officially released Android 11 Beta 1 for Pixels a couple of days back. As expected, some of the partner OEMs also announced their involvement in the program. Oppo was the first company to reveal, followed by OnePlus, Xiaomi, Poco, and Realme. Now, Vivo and iQOO have also declared their association in the beta program with their Nex 3S and iQOO 3 handsets.

Google began to involve partner OEMs in the Android Beta program from Android Pie. Most of the companies released AOSP build for its users. But from last year, almost all of them delivered builds with their own skin like MIUI, OxygenOS, etc. The trend continues this year as well.

Hence, the Android 11 Beta 1 for Vivo Nex 3S and iQOO 3 is available as FuntouchOS and iQOO UI. Also, the update is available for both 4G and 5G variants of iQOO 3 that are sold in India.

Vivo says it will be releasing the second build in late July, which will be soon followed by stable release once Google officially launches Android 11 in August.

The currently available builds are not suitable for all users as they have some major bugs like the in-display fingerprint sensor. Anyway, if you are still interested, you can download them from the link provided below.

Once downloaded, copy the file to your device and navigate to Settings > System Update > Local Update. Do note that this will reset your phone and hence make sure to create a backup of your data before proceeding.
