Download and install Android O Dev Preview for Nexus 6P.Android O but we’re really hoping it’ll become Android Oreo once it’s released).Introduces a number of new features and APIs to use in your apps. Here's are just a few new things for you to start trying in this first Developer Preview.
For the second year in a row, Google is making a developer preview for the next version of Android available in March, well ahead of its presumed consumer release in the fall. This one is codenamed “O,” and your guess is as good as mine as to what dessert the final version will be named after. It isn’t yet available for regular users to try out. Although developers can begin testing it right away, it’s best for most people to let things stabilize a bit more before they try it out. Developers can download it today.

How to install Android O Dev Preview on Nexus 6P:
- Download the Android O image for Nexus 6P below, then unzip it to a safe directory.

- Start the device in fastboot mode with one of the following methods:

- Using a key combo: Turn the device off, then turn it on and immediately hold down the relevant key combination for your device. For example, to put a Nexus 5 ("hammerhead") into fastboot mode, press and hold Volume Up + Volume Down + Power as the device begins booting up.
- If necessary, unlock the device's bootloader using one of the following methods:
- If you are updating a Nexus 6P or Nexus 6P device using the hammerhead or angler builds, update your fastboot tool to the latest available version (>=23.0.1), and then run this command:fastboot flashing unlock
