Android 7.1 Developer Preview now available for Nexus 5X, 6P and Pixel C
Google promised
that the newest developer preview would be available to flash starting this
month and Google was sure able to deliver on that promise. And with great
timing as well, tomorrow is when the Google Pixel and Pixel XL are officially
going on sale in Verizon and Best Buy Stores in the US with Android 7.1 out of
the box.
It looks like
Google is taking a more hands-on approach with the way it handles updates for
its Nexus devices. We've never had developer previews this early on, and for an
incremental update, nonetheless. It looks like Google is really committed to
delivering the quickest updates to its Pixel devices, and the best way to do
that, is by ironing out the kinks with the older Nexus crowd.
The Developer Preview is available to flash
for the Nexus 6P, Nexus 5X, and the Pixel C.
To install the developer preview, you can do
either of three things:
- You can sign up for the Android Beta program and you’ll be able to download the developer preview OTA.
- You can download the entire factory image as a TGZ file and flash the image to a phone by using the flast.bat method.
- You can download the OTA zip file which will bring your device to the latest preview build.
If you have no idea what any of the above
methods mean, we suggest that you stick to the first method: enrolling for the
Android Beta program and accepting the update over the air. Just remember, if
you want to revert to the most recent public software, your data might be wiped
in the process.
