Google has launched Android 11, and some phones have already received the update. More are part of an Android 11 beta. Here’s where to find it.
Android 11 is here. The new mobile operating system isn’t necessarily as groundbreaking as some previous updates, but it still brings several new privacy features, as well as some visual changes that should make accessing things like smart home devices a whole lot easier. Of course, you might be wondering exactly when your phone is getting Android 11. The good news is that Android 11 is coming to more devices week by week. The bad news is that even months after it debuted, some phones still haven’t received the update or only have early betas available. Still, some big names have rolled out the update to popular models — hopefully including the one in your hand. Here are all the phones confirmed to get Android 11, and others we expect to get the update eventually. Asus has joined the Android 11 beta program, however, there are currently only two eligible devices — the Asus Zenfone 6 and the Asus Zenfone 7 Pro. Still, more devices will likely join the beta as time goes on. Black Shark is essentially Xiaomi’s gaming phone brand, and alongside Poco, Redmi, and actual Xiaomi phones, the company also shared which Black Shark phones will get the update. Here’s the list. As you would expect, Google Pixel phones are among the first to get Android 11 — however, not all Pixel devices will get the update. The original Pixel and Pixel XL won’t get any updates beyond Android 10, but considering that the original Pixel is now four years old, that’s not necessarily unexpected. As you might guess, the new Pixel 4a 5G and Pixel 5 ship with Android 11.
