hi everyone aaron here for Zollotech and android 11 beta 3 was released yesterday
to developers and beta testers and this is the final
version or the final beta or the release candidate that should be basically
finalized so that it would be the same as what
comes out to the public in a few weeks to a month or so according
to google now this particular version was fairly large and you'll see here it
was the first time i installed it on this device but it was 1.73 gigabytes
and it's available for the pixel 2 pixel 2 xl
3 3 xl 3a 3axl pixel 4 and 4xl that i have here now
technically it should work on the pixel 4a as well that i have here
and some samsung devices but if you have a different manufacturer other than a
google phone samsung oppo oneplus those companies
they have to push out those particular updates so
they should have them but it's up to them to push those out so hopefully you
see those already or see those soon now the build number on this particular
update you can see is rpb3.200720.005 and the first change is they've changed
sort of how they show the build number in the notification drawer here so at
the top you'll see it's cut off a little bit
and then we have a divider line with our media player at the top
and this is one of the first changes with beta 3. so we have our media player
here in our quick settings and we can stack
this up to five of them so we can swipe
between youtube as you can see here or music
or whatever else you have that's allowed to play media on the phone
and you should see it here you can also swipe away media alerts now
and then there's another setting in here as well so if we swipe this over
tap on the little setting icon you'll see that we have
a new update or a new option that says hide player when the media session has
ended the player allows you to resume a
session from the expanded quick settings panel so you can turn this on
if you want turn it off whatever you like
but that's a new option that's showing up now the power menu has
been changed again now they've changed this a few times throughout the beta so
if we press and hold power you'll see at the top we have emergency
power and bug report for the betas and then i have quick access to my my
home cameras and things like that which is nice
but if we press on power you'll see we have a square menu
of or two squares that make a rectangle of power off and restart so we've got
these in sort of a square now and then if we tap off of this it may
not be arranged the same way for you if you're running beta 3.
depending on if you have this home section there it may or may not be there
so you may have power to the right just
depending on what you have on your display
now with this version android has finally added
their easter egg so let's take a look at that we'll go into our settings here
and you can see i had pixel buds previously connected some of these are
changing around a lot but it's showing you what you previously had what you're
connected to but let's go down to our easter egg here
so if we go to about phone then we scroll down tap on android 11
then at the top tap on android version 11
keep tapping and now we have our easter egg and it's a dial
that we can turn up to 11. so we can keep turning it won't let me here
we can turn it back and forth and then you turn it back and you've got an 11.
so you can literally turn it up to 11 which is kind of clever
and then you saw a little cat down here at the bottom and there's another easter
egg as well so if we go back home press and hold the power button and
we've got different options here we now can have cats so if we go to add
a control we can add a control or edit a control
tap on see other apps under see other apps
we've got cat controls so if we tap on cat controls
let's have a water bubbler and a food bowl that's good enough we'll hit save
and now if we tap on home we've got cat controls
so we can swipe up for the water bubbler and we can tap to refill the water bowl
or the the food bowl rather and then if we go
home sometimes the cats will have conversations and show up in your
notifications so it's pretty interesting to have that
little easter egg in there but the cats are back
so that's something that's new now if you like emoji
those have been updated for unicode as well so if you go into your messenger
whatever you're using and you go to your emoji you should now
have over 100 new emoji in here so there's
over 100 new emoji and different skin types and skin colors
so there are a ton of new ones throughout here of course if you use a
lot of those you'll appreciate that but they continually update them to comply
with unicode standards and they've added a bunch of them to do
that now there's two more changes in this particular
update so again if we go to settings and then we go to our developer options
so we'll go to system go to advanced go to developer
developer options if you have that turned on and then we're going to scroll
way down until we see smooth display now you can
search for this it makes it a lot easier so i'll just do that
smooth display and as you can see there's smooth display this forces the
display on the pixel 4 and 4xl into 90 hertz of course this is going to
reduce the actual battery overall because it won't be variable but you
have the option to force the display onto 90 hertz again
so it's nice that that's back and then finally you may have already seen it in
my search here there are now exposure
notifications now the nice thing is it says to turn on
the exposure notifications install a participating app it's off by
default and there's no way to turn it on unless you have an app that wants to
actually use it so not only do you have to install the app you have to verify
that app allow the app and then turn this on to
allow this as well so it's sort of a double layer of
protection in turning that on so you'll have that option in the future
if you have exposure notifications and apps that comply with this sort of api
built in and that's everything new as compared to
beta 2 and beta 1. there are a bunch of other changes as
well which i'll cover when it finally comes out if there's a lot of different
changes but overall i've been using this for a
day and it seems fairly smooth everything's been nice and fast it's
been very stable at least over the day or so
apps are opening quickly everything from the camera
you can snap a picture quickly everything seems to respond very quickly
and i haven't had any issues as far as that goes so i've been
using it for youtube as well as social media and it just
seems to work fast and like you would expect now i would expect
a feature drop as well next month hopefully with this version as well i'm
not sure if it will be in addition to this but supposedly there will be a
feature drop in september as far as overall battery i wouldn't
expect any increases at this point with this particular device i think it's
as good as it's going to get but in general it's been lasting me a
couple days as i've been using it as my secondary device
but overall it seems to be doing pretty well you'll see this says three days
left so i i tend to put it on the pixel stand
at night so that seems to keep it topped off and i
haven't had any issues but in general it performs very well and i think it'll
be a good update it won't be a huge game changing update compared to
android 10 but android 11 is a nice update and if you want to try the beta
i don't see a reason not to as long as you don't mind having to wipe the phone
later on now if you've found anything else that i
