Google is impressively ahead of time with its next operating system, Android 16’s release for the Android audience, with the stable rollout being scheduled for Q2, 2025. The company has already released two Developer Previews and a Beta version for the eligible Pixel devices. Now, the company is progressing with the new Android 16 Beta 2 rollout for selected Pixels.
With Android 16 Beta 2, Google has brought about various significant features and changes, which will enhance and diversify the overall user experience for the entire Android audience.
Android 16 Beta 2 brings interesting features and changes
Meanwhile, the Android 16 Beta 2 update offers a few yet astonishing camera updates, such as hybrid auto-exposure, precise color temperature and tint adjustments, motion photo capture, and ultra HDR image enhancements that will help the Android audience to have the most interactive and pro-level camera experience ever.
Alternatively, the update further integrates other relevant tweaks that bring displaying app content edge-to-edge, choosing a preferred measurement system under language and region settings, and APIs for accessing audio and picture quality frameworks alongside hardware-related settings on TVs by allowing streaming apps to query profiles and apply them to media dynamically.
Samsung seems to go on with a few more One UI 7 beta builds?
On the comparison side, it’s rumored that Samsung is probably looking towards rolling out six beta updates for One UI 7. While the company is already too late to begin the stable version of its latest Android skin, it seems to be hastening the process of the One UI 7 rollout as Google’s Android 16 is in the stage with two beta builds already released and is moving nearer for the third one, which is then followed with the stable release in Q2, 2025.
At the same time, if Samsung has to match the timeline with Android 16, the company needs to start the process of developing the One UI 8 skin, which is supposed to run on Android 16, probably right after Android 16 enters its Beta 3 stage, though.
