A new Android 13 Beta update is here for Google’s line of Pixel phones from the Pixel 4a up through the Pixel 7 Pro. The update arrives as Android 13 QPR3 Beta 3.1 and aims to fix several bugs only a couple of weeks since Beta 3 dropped.

Google is addressing “various stability issues,” a memory leak in the system UI, some notification shade jank, a semi-serious camera bug that caused “a device to crash,” and something was “sometimes” causing excessive power drain. All seems quite important if you ask me.

The new QPR3 Beta 3.1 update is available right away for those who own a Pixel 4a and 4a 5G, Pixel 5, Pixel 5a, Pixel 6 and 6 Pro, Pixel 6a, and Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro.
