The Pixel 5a is receiving a special update to Android 14 QPR2 Beta 3.2 after the previous update caused serious problems.
Late last week Google pushed out a special version of Android 14 QPR2 Beta 3.2 for just one Pixel phone. Nope, it’s not the Pixel Fold (I can read your mind). The update is for the midrange Pixel 5a and Google discusses the patch on the Android Beta Reddit. The build number is AP11.231215.010 and the patch takes care of 15 issues that impacted the Pixel 5a after Android 14 QPR2 Beta 3.1 was installed. By the way, for the curious, the device was originally released in August 2021.
These issues caused the Pixel 5a to boot slowly while the UI would lag or freeze:
If you own a Pixel 5a and are already subscribed to the Android 14 Beta program, you will receive this update OTA automatically. The patch is rolling out now and you can check to see if it has arrived by going to Settings > System > System updates.
