Pixel 9a Now Eligible for Android 16 Beta: Get a Sneak Peek at the Future

The Pixel 9a, which was recently released, can now enroll in the Android 16 Beta program with the release of Beta 4. This marks the device's first opportunity to test the upcoming Android 16 operating system, even though it has already received a few updates on the stable Android 15 channel. Users can easily opt-in through the Android Beta Devices page and download the update via Settings > System > Software updates. The OTA update for the Pixel 9a is approximately 3.3GB in size, skipping previous beta versions. It's important to back up data before enrolling, as reverting to Android 15 will require a device wipe.
