Android 17 QPR 2 Beta 2 is now available

Technically, Google only releases one major Android version per year – this year it was Android 17. However, the company also works on Quarterly Platform Releases (also known as QPRs), which it serves up to Pixel devices as well as in the form of AOSP images. Yesterday, Google rolled out Android 17 QPR 1 Beta 8 to Pixels and now Android QPR 2 Beta 2.

Strangely, the release notes make no mention of what has changed since QPR 2 Beta 1. Below you can find the changelog for QPR 2 Beta 1.

As promised, here is the changelog for the previous Android 17 QPR 2 Beta 1:

• Bluetooth re-pairing fails silently following a remote bond loss. (Issue #412524057)
