How to become an Android beta tester

A few days ago, we saw how you can become a Beta tester for applications developed for Android. That way, you test new functions first and still help the development of these apps.

But there are other ways to help the Android community and break always be at the forefront of updates. Today, we're going to talk about how to become a Beta tester for the Android system itself. Google and several other brands open vacancies for their Android testing programs sporadically. In all cases, you will need to have the device to pass the test.

Android Beta tester closer to pure

If you want to be the first to get your hands on a new version of Android, the best choice is to choose to test Android closer to the pure, offered by Google itself. To do this, you need to have a device from the company's newest or previous line, such as pixel 3 or 4.

Having one of these devices, click here to access the Google Beta test page. Log in to your Gmail account and choose to participate in the program. Your eligible devices automatically appear on the website and you will receive Beta updates via OTA (Over Air, via Wi-Fi).

Motorola Android Beta Tester

Motorola is one of the best known for releasing beta tests to the community. Still, unlike Google’s process, it’s not guaranteed that even if you sign up for the program, you’ll be called.

You need to have the exact device that is participating in the Beta program, since Motorola develops a version for each smartphone. So, if the tests are for the Moto G7 Plus (which is currently being tested), there is no use having a Moto G7 Play.

Make a common registration on the Motorola website and in your profile choose to participate in the Motorola community and also the MFN (Motorola Feedback Network). Go to your product page and click on "Click here to opt in to the MFN" on the desired product.

Samsung Android Beta Tester

Samsung is another company that promotes its beta testing program a lot, but it is not as simple to be obtained in Brazil as Motorola and Google (if you have the device imported, of course).

And, as in the case of Motorola, it is not certain that you participate in the testing program even if you registered correctly. And it also follows the idea of ​​being available for only one device at a time.

Click here to access the Samsung page. You register with a Samsung account, and then you can log in to the "Samsung Members" app that is already installed on the device. Then, you need to download the "Samsung +" app that is not officially available in Brazil (you can download it here). Give the permissions and your device is already registered. Then, unfortunately, you need to wait to be selected by Samsung.

Asus Android Beta Tester

Asus has a slightly more manual way of participating in the test programs. And, although everything is in English, it is possible to participate in the program in Brazil without any problems. In fact, company employees are well available on social media to receive feedback.

From time to time, they open vacancies for the testing program, and I need to keep an eye out to be able to participate. The tests are for each device, and the updates are quite frequent.

Click here to go to the Asus ZenTalk website. You must register on this site, which is the company's forum. Then, search for a Beta Program (like this one) and you will find the latest program opening information.

OnePlus Android Beta Tester

Just as in the case of Google, OnePlus makes Android beta testing on your devices a lot easier, and very simple to have access to them. There is no need for any registration or app download.

Just download from the company's website / AndroidPIT (screenshot)

Click here to access the OnePlus download area. A, just access the download area of ​​the desired device and download the latest version of the company's Android. After that, just install manually. Generally, downloading it to your device is enough, just restart your smartphone.

Xiaomi Android Beta Tester

Xiaomi is a company that carries out many beta tests in order to improve its system. And for that it counts on the community that uses its devices, which is generally known for being very participative.

Use the Xiaomi forum app to find the tests / AndroidPIT (screenshot)

To participate, install the MIUI Forum app on your device and search for "Recruitment" in the search (after you register or login). Fill in the necessary details, including region, device model, IMEI number, what time you use your device and why you would like to be a beta tester.

A, just wait to be called, since the places are limited and the company chooses the most participative in the community and the ones that fulfill the requirements for the tests in the best way.

LG's Android Beta Tester

LG is another that does not make life easier for those who want to test the new versions of the system in Brazil. Tests are generally only taken for users in South Korea, via the "Quick Help" app. It is already installed on some devices in Brazil, but to have access to any testing program, I need a banner to appear in this app.

Other brands

We do not cite other brands here because they are either not very popular here (such as Oppo, Huawei, LeEco, Honor, ZTE and others) or because they have less clear Beta testing processes, such as Sony.

Do you usually participate in Beta tests? Has interest?
