From this post, you will be able to install Android 11 / Android R on your PC using Android Studio. This guide is especially for the developers who want to test their apps on Android 11 API.

The tutorial below is performed on a MacBook, but steps are exactly the same for Windows PC as well. Read ahead!

Google announced Android 11 in the last month. While being in its developer preview phase, Google is making Android 11 available for the developers earlier than the public so that they would optimize their apps accordingly for the latest Android API.

Android 11

Right now, the developer previews of Android 11 are available for Pixel devices only. But if you are a developer not having a Pixel phone, or even you don’t want to install them directly on your device, you can get them on your PC. We will be using the Android Studio tool and Google Pixel 3 virtual device in order to install Android 11 on your computer. The download links for the required tools are given below; make sure to read every line carefully.

Android emulators are nothing new for tech-savvy people. In fact, they are quite famous for gaming purposes. There are so many such emulators available for the users. However, Google has its own package that comes with the Android Studio tool. It can create a Virtual Pixel device on your computer and install any latest Android.

Android Studio

Android Studio is dedicated to developers, but common users and enthusiasts can also use it to try out the latest Android versions like Android 11 and its new features before Google releases it for the public. Read ahead; we have a complete tutorial on how to install Android 11 on Mac, Windows, and Linux using the Android Studio emulator.
