Android 16 has been out for a while through beta programs for Pixel devices. Google just released Android 16 Beta 4 , the last scheduled update in this platform release’s beta program. This build marks the second platform stability release, meaning that developer APIs and app-facing behaviors are now final, and apps targeting Android 16 can be made available in the Play Store. If you want to try out Android 16 before its stable release, but don’t have a compatible Pixel device, here’s some good

The fourth beta of Android 16 has begun rolling out to supported Pixel smartphones and tablets, and it'll be the last release for the beta program. Android 16 reached platform stability in its last beta, and this secondary stability release is all about tightening up all the screws before the final release in a few months. We'll probably hear more about Android 16 next month during Google I/O 2025. Users installing the latest beta will receive the latest fixes and optimizations first, and will

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority TL;DR Android 16 Beta 4 is now available for Pixel phones. Testers can manually download an OTA or factory image, but most will want to wait for an update notification. We’re now within spitting distance of Android 16 stable, due later this quarter. Google is putting the finishing touches on Android 16, and last night told us to look forward to Beta 4 arriving today. While we’re not quite to the point where the new OS update is ready for a stable release,

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR Android 16 Beta 4 arrives today for Pixel devices. New owners of the Pixel 9a can now enroll in the Beta program, their first opportunity to do so. Downloads for the Pixel 9a should also be available soon. Android development is proceeding a little differently this time around, with Google giving work on Android 16 a much earlier start than we’ve come to expect. But while Android 16 is moving on a bold new timetable, Google similarly pushed up its launch

Rita El Khoury / Android Authority TL;DR Android 16 Beta 4 is scheduled to arrive tomorrow, April 17. This is just over a month since Beta 3 landed, and 3.1 and 3.2 have arrived in the interim. Google’s getting down to the wire for making changes ahead of Android 16’s stable release. It’s been just over a month now since Google released Android 16 Beta 3 to its testing community, and for being as late in the development process as we are, quite a lot has been happening since.

In computer graphics, we rarely encounter continuous data. We often work with digital data, and in the context of geometric modeling, this means we typically work with polygon meshes rather than procedural surfaces like Bézier patches. The most popular technique for constructing digital three-dimensional objects in dedicated modeling software is polygon modeling. The result of the creation phase is a set of polygons (mesh), where the polygons in the mesh can share vertices and edges with other p
