Android 15 Beta is now available for devices from Nothing, OnePlus, Xiaomi, and more

Android 15 is now becoming available for devices outside of the Pixel ecosystem, including from OEMs like Nothing, Oppo, OnePlus, Xiaomi, Vivo, and more.

Android 15 doesn’t look entirely new on the surface, but it houses a lot of changes under the hood. Little changes that affect overall quality-of-life and phone performance. While the brunt of what we’ve seen from Android 15 has been on Pixel phones running the beta, a healthy number of manufacturers have officially made Android 15 Beta builds available to the public.

On the official Android 15 page from Google, there’s a list of manufacturers and, by extension, a list of devices that are currently able to run Android 15 in some beta form. The Pixel series has access to the Android 15 Beta 2 build previewed at Google I/O 2024. Devices running Android outside of that will very likely have a different build available, but the specifics depend on what phone you’re using.

So far, Google has populated that list with these phone manufacturers:

  • Honor
  • IQOO
  • Lenovo
  • Nothing
  • OnePlus
  • Oppo
  • Realme
  • Sharp
  • Tecno
  • Vivo
  • Xiaomi

How to install Android 15 Beta on your device

Whether or not you can install Android 15 on your devices is simple – if you see your device listed, you’re good to go. Each OEM will differ in what build of Android 15 it’ll offer, but a specific list of phones is listed under each name in Google’s official list.

  1. To find your Android 15 Beta guide, head to developer.android.com/about/versions/14/devices.
  2. Find your device’s manufacturer and hit Get the Beta.
  3. Carefully read that OEM’s guide on how to install the Beta and follow it’s instructions.

Google tends to excitedly offer up the Anroid 15 Beta as the “new thing,” and publications like 9to5Google are excited to share that information with you, but we do ask that you keep something in mind: if you don’t feel comfortable installing the Android 15 Beta for your device, don’t. Beta updates like this always have the potential to brick or harm your device, even if you take every precaution. As always, take the time to read the guide for each OEM and follow the manufacturer’s instructions closely.
