Google has made its Android 11 public beta available to all, thus starting the countdown to the launch. As of now, the software is available only in the public beta stage and is available on Pixel 2, Pixel 2 XL, Pixel 3, Pixel 3 XL, Pixel 3a, Pixel 3a XL, Pixel 4 and Pixel 4 XL devices. You can take a look at how you can check out the new Android 11 public beta here.

Google has not provided us with an exact date as to when it will be launching the final software build. However, Google on its developers website is currently running an “11 Weeks of Android” feature, under which it takes up a whole week to detail different aspects of the software. 11 Weeks of Android is set to run until the end of August and it seems to be like a ticking clock for the launch. According to various reports, Google is said to be getting ready to launch Android 11 between September 1 to September 8. To recall, Android 10 was launched on September 3, last year.
