After many delays and postponing the Launch Event, Google’s finally released the Android 11 Beta to the public.
The Android 11 Beta is officially out
Latest Pixel feature drop brings improved battery life, new safety features in tow
Not so long ago, Google announced that the Android 11 Beta online event will be delayed, much to the disappointment of many of the tech enthusiasts. Whether it is related to the never-ending COVID-19 pandemic slowing things down or because of the ongoing protests and riots in the United States is yet to be known.

Why the Pixel 3a is the best mid-range phone you can buy in the US
Ever since the launch of the original OnePlus One, the recipe for a killer mid-range smartphone was very simple: flagship specs coupled with a modest camera hardware setup for nearly half the price of a fully fledged flagship.

Google, on the other hand, had the guts to stray away from that route and create their own recipe for a worthy mid-range smartphone.
