Google revealed today that it'll launch the first beta of Android 11 on June 3, but before then, it's pushing out another release focused on developers.
Android 11 Developer Preview 4 is now available for download. It can be installed on the Pixel 2 and 2 XL, Pixel 3 and 3 XL, Pixel 3a and 3a XL, and Pixel 4 and 4 XL.
If you're already running the Android 11 Developer Preview, you should get this update over the air. If you're not already on the Android 11 DP or you would rather update manually, Google offers the Android Flash Tool for installing the update using your web browser, or you can download the system image and manually flash it that way.

Google says that this update includes the latest bug fixes, API tweaks, and features, so if you're running the Android 11 Developer Preview, definitely grab this new release to make sure you're up-to-date.
Looking ahead, Google says that it's adjusting its Android 11 beta schedule a bit. We already know that the first beta will arrive June 3, and we can expect a second beta in early July.
