Google revealed its Android 14 schedule in February 2023, with the first developer preview going live the same day as the reveal. The timeline the company has planned out is very similar to the one the tech giant had for Android 13.
On September 6, Google released Android 14 beta 5.3, which everyone expected to be the last beta version before a stable release of the operating system. That wasn’t the case, however, as Google dropped the QPR1 Beta for Android 14, giving us a preview of the underlying OS for the upcoming December 2023 Pixel Feature Drop and quarterly platform release… before we’ve even seen Android 14 go live.
