Did the release of Android 15 QPR1 Beta 1 include a hint about extended support for the Pixel 6 line?
And even if the Pixel 6 line doesn’t get Android 16, Google will probably allow it to receive the stable version of Android 15 QPR1 in December which would be past the October end of support date for the line. After all, why allow the phone to install the Beta if it won’t get the final version? And if Google allows the Pixel 6 line to keep support up to the last Android 15 QPR release in June, it might as well keep going to the release of Android 16.
How do I join the Android 15 Beta program?
After you opt-in to the Beta, go to Settings > System > Software update and follow the directions. Since Google has already released Android 15 QPR1 Beta 1, if you’re still in the Beta program, you cannot exit unless you want to wipe your Pixel phone. The next time you’ll be able to exit the Android 15 Beta program without having to perform a factory reset will be in December when the final version of Android 15 QPR1 is released.
