Google continues to push new Android 15 builds until the update's big launch. The latest iteration feels a bit more consistent than the previous one, but it still can’t be considered a major release.
The new Android 15.2 Beta 4.2 update is now available for Pixel devices. This build doesn’t bring any new features or improvements, but there are a bunch of bug fixes included, so it’s certainly worth installing if you’ve already running one of the previous Android 15 beta builds.
In any case, here is what the full changelog published by Google looks like:
If your phone is enrolled in the Android Beta for Pixel program, you’ll be offered an over-the-air (OTA) update for Beta 4.2, so you don’t have to do anything until you get the notification.
It’s important to mention that your Pixel device must be on a non-Developer Preview public stable build to enroll in the beta program. Of course, you can opt out and return to a public Android version whenever you want. Once you do that, you should receive an update within 24 hours that will wipe all user data and install the latest stable public version of Android.
