After the release of the fourth Developer Preview of Android 11, Beta 1 update was next in the card. However, it had to witness quite a few delays. First due to the pandemic and then due to the ongoing protest going in the US. But the wait is now over as the Beta 1 build has finally made its way.
Till now these DP builds were mostly intended for the developers. But with the first beta version now available, the tech geeks could also get the taste of the same. And for the Oppo users, there is some good news lined up. The OEM has announced that they are bringing the Android 11 Beta package to the Find X2 series as well.
