      Vivo iQOO 3 & Vivo NEX 3S Android 11 beta 2 update released (Download links inside)

      Google changed the Android beta testing program back in 2019 as over a dozen devices got to test the Android Q beta updates. Cut to now, OEMs like OnePlus and Vivo have already started testing the Android 11 beta update.

      We reported earlier that the Android 11 beta update came out for the iQOO 3 and NEX 3S back in June. The update was basically meant for developers to prepare and test apps for the new iQOO UI.

      Now, the OEM has released the Android 11 beta 2 update for Vivo iQOO 3 and Vivo NEX 3S. The second beta does not offer any major changes but still a small changelog is provided by the OEM.

      iQOO-UI

      Here’s the changelog followed by the download links for both devices:

      Changelog:

      The power percentage display in the upper right corner of iQOO3 is obscured by the front camera.

      NEX 3S cannot use the vivo wallet.

      You can follow the guide given below to install the Android 11 beta 2 update on your Vivo iQOO 3 or Vivo NEX 3S.

      1. Download the Vivo IQOO 3 Developer Preview firmware package above and save it in the root directory. If you downloaded on a PC, transfer it to the root folder using a USB cable.

      3. Wait for the upgrade to be completed.

      Be sure to make a backup of your existing data as installing the new update will wipe everything on the device.
