Google now releases the Android 11 Beta 2.5. This fixes some problems on the way to a stable update. This is expected in early September.
Version 2.5 fixes, in addition to other things, the hotly anticipated remedy of the issue of glimmering at low brightness, which influenced the Pixel 4. Moreover, an issue with the RCSchat has been fixed and there are a bunch of different rectifications for the sound, the dialer application, the video recording, the notification bar, and against the occasional restarts.
The Android 11 Beta 2.5 is now being distributed, and the testers should be offered the new version in the next few hours.
