Vivo is one of the few OEMs to partner with Google to offer its users the latest version of Android before release. Though it is primarily meant for developers to test their app, any user can install it if they want to. The company released Android 11 Beta 1 for iQOO 3 4G/5G and Vivo Nex 3S in June. Now, after two months, the company releases Beta 2 for these devices.

Going by the build number of the update files, the Android 11 Beta 2 for the supported Vivo handsets were released in late July after OnePlus 8/8 Pro got them. Since Vivo is not popular among tech enthusiasts, the update remained under the hill until PiunikaWeb spotted it.

The installation procedure is simple as users don’t need PC or any knowledge of flash tools. All they have to do is download the update package from the link provided from the below on their phone.

Then, simply open any file manager app and tap on the downloaded file to initiate the installation procedure. This will factory reset the phone and therefore, make sure to create a backup of important files beforehand.

In a similar manner, users can return back to the stable Android 10 build by downloading and installing the rollback package provided below.

As for bugs, the company says that the battery level indicator is blocked by the punch hole camera on iQOO 3. Whereas, on Nex 3S, users cannot use Vivo Wallet feature.

Last month  Xiaomi rolled out Android 11 Beta 1 for Redmi K30 Pro and POCO F2 Pro. It was an AOSP build and a similar update was also available for Mi 10 and Mi 10 Pro. Now, the company has released Android 11 Beta 2 for Redmi K30 Pro in China. Unlike the previous build, this one comes with MIUI 12.

Xiaomi has been releasing MIUI 12 weekly beta builds for the supported devices since the day of the announcement. That said, today’s build (20.7.30) for Redmi K30 Pro also brings Android 11 Beta 2. It is good that the company has already incorporated its heavy skin to the latest version of Android.

Hence, we can expect the Android 11 stable rollout for Redmi K30 Pro to commence on the same day when Google will release it for the Pixels. Why are we so positive? That’s because a similar thing happened last year with Android 10 rollout for Redmi K20 Pro.

Having said that, this update is currently limited to Redmi K30 Pro in China. The Chinese smartphone maker is yet to release it for POCO F2 Pro, the international variant of the handset. We expect the company to release it soon in the coming days.
