Developers can download Beta Versions of Android N through OTA

Google wants the Developers to get the latest pre-release versions of the Android in a much better way. Yes, starting this summer, Developers will be able to install the beta versions of Android N through OTA updates. You will have to enroll an Android Beta program of Google to avail this service.

The traditional way of installing the beta versions of Android was through Factory images. Developers had to download the Factory image file and flash it on the device. This process usually ended up in a mess for most of the developers. However, if you still want to install through a factory image, you can continue doing it.

According to Google, developers will get an update for every 2 to 4 weeks till Android N is launched publicly. Once you install the update, Google won’t be responsible for any damages or bugs that will occur to your Smartphone. You can anyways revert back to the stable version of Android by keeping your data at risk, which means that you will have to back up the whole data before installing the new beta version.
