The first update for the Android N preview is now available. While the first preview was relatively stable, there were still plenty of bugs, so chances are Google is using today’s update to fix some bugs. The other devices have been left out.

Google released the first Android N preview on March 9 and is planning to release newer versions every four to six weeks.

If you’re not enrolled in the Beta program to update your device, the process is simple and ensures you will be inline to receive future updates, of which Google advises they have 4 planned before a Q3 release of the final product.

In the previous week, Google had started its Android N Developer Preview program for the aforementioned devices.

The update does not include updates for the Pixel C, but the Android N will encompass it. Early impressions of the Pixel C hardware were positive, but analysts think that Android lets the hardware down.
