For the Google Pixel 2, 3, 3a, 4 lineup devices, users can easily enroll for the Android 11 beta program those who haven’t registered yet. Meanwhile, Google has also mentioned that the same will be soon available for the Pixel 4a model. If you’re already running on the Android 11 Beta 3 build then you don’t have to do all of these. Simply head over to the system update section and check for the OTA update notification. If not available, we will recommend you to wait for a couple of days and keep checking it.

On the other side, Pixel device users can also manually flash the Android 11 Beta 3 build by using the Android Flash Tool method. Alternatively, the advanced users can also manually install the Factory Image or OTA update from here according to your Pixel device model.
