Google released the Android 11 Beta 2 for the Pixel devices not too long ago. While the whole update schedule has taken a huge hit, the Android maker is trying hard to bring the Android 11 in its stable state. Meanwhile, OnePlus has pushed Android 11 Developer Preview 2 to the OnePlus 8 Series today.
