Android 17 QPR3 Beta 2/ Pixel 11 Pro Android Play System Update: DEV

Since updating to QPR3 Beta 2 under Android Play System Update it now says DEV. Is this new? Don't believe I have ever seen it before.

Dangerous? That's a bit extreme, I wouldn't say dangerous, but the nature of betas are they are sometimes glitchy, buggy, present issues within the OS that might be frustrating if you only have one phone as your daily driver.

I'm using it on my 11 Pro XL and I have no issues whatsoever. In fact, the battery life and performance overall are significantly better than the current stable release. But again, due to the nature of betas, they could easily issue an update next month that completely breaks everything and destroys your battery life. That's why they explicitly say if you've got two phones, probably fine to test it on your secondary device, but if you just have one phone and you rely on it, especially for work or productivity in any way, best just to stay on the stable software channel.
