After the release of Android 14’s fourth beta last month by Google, it was expected that the next update would be the public version, but now the Android giant has come with one more beta update that comes with some more improvements.
However, the latest beta update doesn’t bring new features, but it is full of fixes. Users who own Pixel devices can now install the update. It is worth noticing that not all the Pixel devices are eligible for the update; if you have a Pixel 4a, Pixel 4a 5G, Pixel 5, Pixel 5G, Pixel 6 (6, 6 Pro, and 6a), and the Pixel 7 series (7), it is being done. 7 Pro, and 7A).

The new beta update is meant to give the final touches to the Android 14 developments. Earlier, as per Google’s official Android 14 development image, it wasn’t mentioned about the August update; however, we hope the next update should be the public one.
Apart from the bug fixes, the update also brought a new August 2023 security patch for the Pixel devices with firmware version UPB5.230623.003. The latest patch will enhance the overall security of the devices.
