As I said earlier, many of us were expecting the stable release of Android 14 this week, which also suggests that today’s build is most probably the last build in the beta channel. Google releases the fifth beta with the UPB5.230623.003 build number. It is a small incremental upgrade that weighs only 41MB in size. Moving to the features and changes, then the fifth beta addresses the issue of more battery consumption during WiFi scanning, photos glitched with shadows, addresses launcher issues that was causing frequent crashes and other quality issues, blank wallpaper previews while changing the wallpaper, and many more. Here’s the complete list of fixes coming with the Android 14 Beta 5.
Now if you own an eligible Pixel smartphone running on beta 4.1, then you can easily upgrade your Pixel smartphone to the incremental beta by navigating to the System Updates in Settings and then downloading the new beta. If your phone is running on the Android 13 stable version and you want to try out the Android 14 beta, then you need to sign up for the Android Beta Program, see the process in this story.
