How to download and install Android 11, the newest version of the Google system

If you want to install Android 11, you’ve come to the right place. The next version of the operating system has already been officially released, even though Google did not hold its Google I/O developers’ fair this year. After a public beta period, the company released the final version of the system, mainly focused during this time for specific phones. Certain Google and Xiaomi devices have access to the latest version of Android, but other devices will only be able to access the public beta version of Android 11 (if eligible) and will not get the final version of the system within a year.

It is important to note that only some people should download the beta version of the system themselves. In general, it is not a good idea to download this version on a phone that you use every day: it is recommended that most average users wait until the final version of the software is available for their phone. This is because the beta version can generate a number of bugs and problems and even ruin certain aspects of your phone’s software.

Here’s how to download and install Android 11, as well as how to access the public beta version of Android 11, if you’re eager to use it.
