1. Update: Google got in contact to say that the Live Updates demo they provided doesn't represent the feature in current form but rather a potential future version. So, if you download the Android 16 Beta 1, you'll notice the feature looks a bit different to the version shown in this video. Let's hope we see the improved version at a later date!

2. @AndroidAuthority

   I usually wait until the Beta 3 Platform Stability Release. That's what I've done ever since @Android has been releasing Developer & Beta Releases.

   That way the Apps run more stable and able to use the device with less issues.

3. A 'baiter' its "Beta" in the UK

4. Looks like i am getting android 16

5. Really good review, thanks for this

6. Me downloading the beta 🗿

7. I am daily driving android 16 from dev preview1 , it is ok for all apps including banking apss , but i miss call recording from grapheneos . 🙁

8. I feel like Google are really trying to hammer in that Android versions mean next to nothing anymore by pushing these quicker and quicker.

9. Thank you. 💙🌻💙

10. Downloading now..

11. Google should make some changes in Android design in Android 16. It's almost the same design since Android 12. They should take some inspiration from skins like OneUI and Oxygen OS.

12. Feels pretty smooth so far. Battery life has been stable for me.

13. I love a beta from android therefore im happy

14. Google Home stop working

15. I have been running beta software on my pixel 7 since day one. Never had any major issues. Maybe a reboot from time to time or an app crash but nothing that stands out

16. HOTSPOT SPEED??????????????? uploaD 500 download 500

17. They should move the Live Alerts below the fingerprint sensor. That space is wasted.

18. Would love to see comparision between HEVC vs APV codec when it comes out 🙂

19. Skip "Android 16".
    i am actually excited about next upcoming "Android 17" 🤔🤔😃😃😃😃

20. My pixel is heating tooooooo much after android 16

21. Android 16 ❎
    Android 12.4 ✅

22. Aaahhh, i wish they would introduce some new lock screen customization, on pixels at least, because the Samsung lock screen customization looks so fun!

23. Hows the gaming performance?

24. Boring update

25. I am confused by the P6 support as Android 15 was supposed to be the last update it would get.

26. Still no folders in the stock launcher app tray on pixel😢

27. Just updated my phone to android 15 last week and now there's android 16 😅

28. I'm running android 15 beta right now how can there be android 16 beta

29. i still dont understand the diff between the live updates, and the current live notification implementation. I can already track my uber eats or lyft from my notifications on my pixel.

30. Cool screen protector.

31. Always nice to hear that your pixel will get better and better. Last year I bought the regular 9. I will upgrade to pro when 10 will be launched.
    great video.

32. So many people complaining about having phones that didn’t receive Android 15 yet – BUY A PIXEL!

33. Any Linux terminal updates?

34. Me who watching this video without backing up and updated 💀

35. Don't have android 15 on my main phone, S23 yet, but I ahve android 16 on my Pixel 6 Pro…LOL

36. This is the reason I can never buy another Android outside of a Pixel.

37. Rocking android 10 on p20 pro smooth as butter 😊

38. When is google going to get all apps to adapt to color

39. What pixel lockscreen clock r u using? Looks nice and compact

40. Downloading now on my 9 Pro XL !

41. Wasnt it supposed to have audio share to multiple speakers using bluetooth?

42. I just want the new control center ):
    I should wait for the next update

43. Do be very careful with Betas. I installed a Beta 1 a few years ago and it bricked my phone.
    When I asked Google to help me to fix it, they didn’t want to know.

44. Android 15.1 looks amazing 🤩
