For those not on Android 15, Google has released Android 14 QPR3 Beta 2.2 for Pixel today. It comes nearly two months after the last release on this track. A stable 14 QPR3 release is expected at the start of June.

AP21.240305.006 with the May — from March — 2024 security patch is available for supported devices: Pixel 5a, Pixel 6, Pixel 6 Pro, Pixel 6a, Pixel 7, Pixel 7 Pro, Pixel 7a, Pixel Tablet, Pixel Fold, Pixel 8, and Pixel 8 Pro.

Update: Google says this build should be on the May 2024 security patch level, but it’s still March 2024 on the phone.

There’s no Pixel 8a build, and only factory images are offered for manual install given an OTA sideloading issue.

In terms of what’s resolved:

Fixed issues that sometimes caused mobile data connections to drop, even when the device was receiving a strong cellular signal. (Issue #322380000, Issue #315328193, Issue #318593420, Issue #327884305)
Fixed various other issues that were impacting system stability and connectivity.

Back in April, Google said you could ignore Android 15 Beta 1 if you wanted to remain on the Android 14 Beta Program to “receive minor .x updates until the final stable QPR3 release” (in June). The on-device OTA is 18.06 MB update on the Pixel 8 Pro and 40.83MB for the Pixel 7 Pro.

All eligible devices enrolled in the Android Beta for Pixel program that haven’t taken an update to Android 15 Beta will be offered an over-the-air (OTA) update to Beta 2.2.
