Nokia 8.1 Android Q Developer Preview Beta 5

Juho Sarvikas just announced the Android Q Developer Preview Beta 5 for the Nokia 8.1. Those who installed the Beta 3 can manually sideload the Beta 5 update by downloading it from the Nokia Phone Developer Preview webpage.
The new Android Q Developer Preview build brings a new way to launch Google Assistant by swiping from the bottom left or right corners of the screen. 


Currently, Beta 5 upgrade is only available for those users who previously installed the Beta 3 update and there is no way to directly install it directly from the Android 9 Pie.  As per the info on the Developer Preview webpage, an upgrade from Android 9 Pie to Android Q Beta 5 is in the works and will be released shortly. So, users on Android 9 Pie will have to wait a bit more to try out the latest Developer Preview build.

If you're going to install it check out the full summary of known issues over at the Nokia Community forum.

Nokia Mobile is also preparing for the OTA rollout of the Android Q Developer Preview for Nokia 8.1 which is expected to be released within this month.
