How to download Android Q
Installing Android Q on a Pixel terminal or on a supported smartphone is very simple. The first thing to do is to visit the Android Beta page [here is the link], and check if your device is suitable. If you have one of these terminals, it will appear in the ” Your eligible devices ” list, and you can register for the Android Q Beta Program.
In a few minutes, the notification for the installation of the Developer Preview will appear on the terminal, which will take place through the canonical ” OTA ” procedure, then directly from the terminal. No user data will be lost with the installation.
It is good to remember that if you want to go back to the last stable version of Android, you must select on the same page the Unregister entry for the terminal with which you are using the Developer Preview. The device will receive a notification for an update that will delete all data on the terminal, installing the latest stable public version of Android. You can find all the information you need here.
