Android 14 picked up the "beta" tag a while ago on Google Pixel devices, but that doesn't mean the non-Google phone you’re carrying in your pocket will get the same treatment anytime soon. This is because, unlike Apple, Google allows other OEMs to customize Android and ship their phones with various skins, which naturally takes time to develop and evaluate whenever a new version of the operating system is about to release.

But which handsets other than the Pixels are eligible to get a taste of the Android 14 update, and when? There are quite a few, actually. Some devices from popular OEMs have already received their Android 14 updates — albeit in the form of pre-release developer preview or beta — but others will have to wait longer.

Before you jump on the bandwagon, note that OEM-specific beta releases don't sync with Google's beta initiative. You might not get periodic OTA updates on the preview channel like the Pixels. Furthermore, the pre-release builds are usually quite barebones compared to the respective OEM skins. Still, if you see your phone on this list, it’s very likely you’ll be one of the first to get the stable Android 14 update when it finally becomes ready.

Below you can find the list of non-Google devices that have joined the Android 14 party. For Google Pixel smartphones, take a look at our Android 14 download index to grab the download links.

Lenovo

Lenovo has opened up an Android 14 beta program for just one of its high-end tablets.

Nothing

The Nothing Phone 1 runs on a close-to-stock version of Android. Hence, it's not very surprising to see the device in this beta initiative.

OnePlus

Just like last year, owners of the latest OnePlus flagship are set to get an early taste of the upcoming Android release.

Oppo

If foldables are your thing, then you can give Android 14 a try on the Oppo Find N2 series.

Realme

The only Realme phone that has access to the beta is the Realme GT 2 Pro. If you’ve got one, you can give Android 14 a try.

Tecno

Tecno might not be a well-known brand compared to the others, but it has also participated in the beta program.

Vivo and iQOO

Vivo isn’t going to be left out of the Android 14 beta party. As per the trend, one Vivo flagship and one iQOO high-end phone have participated in the initiative.

Xiaomi

Unlike most other OEMs on this list, Xiaomi isn’t limiting access to the beta to just one of its devices. Instead, it’s offering eligibility to one tablet and three of its phones.

Starting from July, Xiaomi has also started recruiting testers for MIUI beta version based on Android 14 for the global variants of the Xiaomi 13, Xiaomi 13 Pro, and the Xiaomi 12T.

How can I update to Android 14?

While using a specially crafted recovery image is typically the default method for manual installation of the aforementioned Android 14 beta releases, we highly recommend reading the version prerequisite for each device before attempting the actual flashing process. Skipping this step might lead to a hard brick.

In some cases (e.g. Xiaomi), factory images are provided, which can be flashed via Fastboot. Nonetheless, the entire process will be different (and likely much more complex) than that of the Google Pixel devices. To reiterate, back up your personal data, give the instructions posted by the respective OEM a thorough read, then only proceed with the installation.

That’s all we’ve got so far. Make sure to bookmark this page, as we will update it whenever we hear a new Android 14 beta announcement!
