About Android 16 QPR3 Beta 1 (December 2025)
Building on the initial release of Android 16, we continue to update the platform with fixes and improvements that are then rolled out to supported devices. These releases happen on a quarterly cadence through Quarterly Platform Releases (QPRs), which are delivered both to AOSP and to Google Pixel devices as part of Feature Drops.
Although these updates don’t include app-impacting API changes, we provide images of the latest QPR beta builds so you can test your app with these builds as needed (for example, if there are upcoming features that might impact the user experience of your app).
Unlike developer previews and betas for unreleased, major versions of Android, these builds are suitable for general use.
