Surprise! Google has unexpectedly started rolling out the Android 14 Beta 5.1 update for Pixel devices. While we have been waiting for a stable build, the company introduces a new testing version with a handful of fixes and improvements.

As per the revealings, the Android 14 Beta 5.1 update is arriving with the UPB5.230623.005 version. Meanwhile, users holding a Google Pixel Fold or Tablet can identify the firmware with the UPB5.230623.005.A1 build.
