How to download Android 10 Beta on your phone?

The process will differ from phone to phone. To start with, you can directly head to Google’s supported device page. From here, scroll down to your phone and hit “Get the Beta” option.

You will now be redirected to the respective manufacturer page from where you can download the Beta package and flash it from recovery. The OEM pages also list ‘Known issues’ with the Beta preview, and we suggest that you go through them before you flash the new software.

Alternatively, you could also flash Android 10 Beta using Emulator. Detailed steps to do so are mentioned on Android Q Beta page.   

Should you download Android 10 Beta?

Right now we wouldn’t recommend that you download the Android 10 Beta on your primary phone. We have been testing Android 10 on Realme 3 Pro and there are many issues to be dealt with including random app crashes, stuttering, lack of fingerprint sensor support and so on. Suffice to say, there are good chances that Android 10 might break a few important things on your phone and you are advised to practice caution if you are unsure of what you are getting into.
