Microsoft Insiders Preview Idea Picked up by Google for Android N

Today Google announced Android N, the next level of their popular mobile operating system. While this is normal, but what they did differently is invited people like you and me to best test it. Rings a bell? Windows Insider says welcome to Android Beta Program.

Microsoft launched Windows Insiders with Windows 10 Desktop which not only turned any enthusiast into a tester, it also shaped the path, features, and many things that Microsoft was doubtful to roll out. The only way to get to know about is through the customers which were on-board with there Insiders Preview.

Android Beta program will deliver the updates through OTA which makes flashing images things of past for untested software, and once Android N finalizes, we will see devices getting the final update.

This is the very reason why  Google has announced Android N rather early. Android M is still on 2.5% of the Android devices, but Google truly understands that beat testing could help them in long term.  Another advantage that Google will get along with this is increasing the number of people on Android N early because they will have a solid feedback for so many devices which was never done before at this scale.
