The official release of Android 14 is only weeks away. Today we're releasing Beta 5, the last scheduled update in the Android 14 beta program.

With the official release of Android 14 only weeks away, today we’re bringing you Beta 5, the last scheduled update in our Android 14 beta program. It’s the last chance to make sure your apps are ready and provide feedback before non-beta users start getting Android 14. To enable you to test your applications on devices spanning multiple form factors, Beta 5 is available for Pixel Tablet and Pixel Fold, in addition to the rest of the supported Pixel family and the Android emulator.

Beta 5 is our third Platform Stable Android 14 release, which means that the developer APIs and all app-facing behaviors are final for you to review and integrate into your apps, and you can publish apps on Google Play targeting Android 14’s SDK version 34. It includes the latest fixes and optimizations, giving you everything you need to complete your testing.

    I wonder if there are any gains on the Pixel 5. I heard on the Pixel 6/7 some people got better battery life.

        I can’t remember… But I do remember that most people mentioned better battery life.

        The ones that didn’t find better battery life are less but they exist and maybe this is because it depends on regional aspects or system configuration.
