Android QPR1 Beta 3 is now available

Android 13 QPR1 Beta 3 is now available, and surprisingly, it’s also available on the Pixel 7 series.

Google’s patch notes don’t mention new features but detail bug fixes, including ones that deal with blank screens, unlock issues, full-screen video playback flickering and more.

Here are the notes:

Developer-reported and user-reported issues

• Fixed an issue for some devices where the screen unlock UI was displayed over notifications and other lock-screen content. (Issue #254163754)

Other resolved issues

• Fixed an issue that prevented the “Flip camera for selfie” gesture from working on some devices.
• Fixed an issue that sometimes caused the screen to go blank while attempting to unlock a device.
• Fixed an issue that sometimes prevented a device from being unlocked using either Face Unlock or Fingerprint Unlock when the device had been idle for multiple hours.
• Fixed an issue that sometimes caused fullscreen video playback to flicker after enabling always-on-display features and locking the screen.

While the update notes don’t mention new features, 9to5Google has discovered that there’s a new ‘Clear calling’ menu. The menu features a switch with Google explaining that Clear calling depends on your Wi-Fi and mobile connection.  The squiggle line in the media player also had a slight change recently.

You can download the Android 13 QPR1 Beta 3 on the Pixel 4 series through the Pixel 7 series.
