Google is currently preparing to release the next big Android operating system, Android 14. The company has released several versions for beta testing, including the recent Beta 2.1. Since many phone manufacturers rely on Android as their base operating system, most of them are also preparing to launch their own versions of Android 14 on their smartphones.
