In this new version, emphasis has been placed on user privacy. Developers need early access to the new OS in order to work with privacy and security concerns for their current and upcoming mobile apps and services. With access to devices running on the beta of the upcoming OS, testing for mobile apps and services for the new OS can begin even before the official release of Android Q.
