New Android 14 beta update is only available for one Pixel phone


And it's probably not one you'd expect.

The update only applies to the Google Pixel 5a and aims to fix a number of problems owners have faced. These issues "caused the device to boot slowly and the user interface to lag or freeze," Google says. With any luck, this update should get their phones relatively back to normal working order, although the nature of beta software means you should always expect to encounter bugs.
