Mobile Software & Updates

Google is accelerating testing for the next major Android release, making the initial Android 17 QPR1 Beta available for Pixel 6 devices and newer hardware. This swift post-launch update cycle preempts the official release, while elsewhere in the ecosystem, YouTube TV is rolling out its highly requested custom multiview feature to a limited cohort of U.S. subscribers. These software advancements arrive as OnePlus quietly launched the titanium Watch 4 running Wear OS, though the device's limited availability is complicated by ongoing uncertainty surrounding the company's global business operations.
