The preview is available for the following devices only:

  • Nexus 5X
  • Nexus 6
  • Nexus 6P
  • Nexus 9
  • Nexus Player
  • Pixel C
  • General Mobile 4G (Android One)

Sony Xperia Z3 owners can also install the preview via Sony"s N Developer Preview Program.

Google has previously said that it will offer a total of five Developer Previews before Android N is released later this year. You can find out more about the preview program via android.com/beta.

The company announced today that it is inviting users to offer suggestions for the name of its new OS update.
