Read\nthe general instructions for how to [flash a system image](https://developers.google.com/android/images#instructions) to your device.\nThis approach can be useful when you need more control over testing, such as for\nautomated testing or regression testing.\n\n\nGet Android 16 Beta on a partner device\n---------------------------------------\n\nThe following device-maker partners are offering Android 16 Beta for you to try\non some of their top devices:\n\n- HONOR\n- iQOO\n- Lenovo\n- OnePlus\n- OPPO\n- realme\n- vivo\n- Xiaomi\n\nYou can learn how to install Android 16 Beta by visiting each partner's site.\nEach partner provides a system image that you can download and flash. Some\npartners might also support over-the-air (OTA) delivery. Each partner provides\nsupport resources to guide you through the installation process---use the\n**Get the Beta** link on the [Android 16 Beta devices](/about/versions/16/devices) page to jump to the\npartner's download and OTA information.\n\nEach Android 16 Beta partner provides its own channel for reporting issues found\non their supported Beta devices. We highly recommend using each partner's\nfeedback channel to report bugs and feedback that are specific to their devices.\n\n\n[Go to partners list](/about/versions/16/devices)\n\nSet up the Android Emulator\n---------------------------\n\nConfiguring the Android Emulator to run Android 16 is a great solution for\nexploring new features and APIs and testing Android 16 behavior changes. Setting\nup the emulator is fast and convenient and lets you emulate various screen sizes\nand device characteristics.\n\nDepending on the type of testing you need to do, consider setting up a variety\nof virtual devices from these device categories:\n\n- [Phone](#phone-avd)\n- [Tablet or large-screen device](#large-screen-avd)\n\n### Set up a virtual device (phone)\n\nTo set up a virtual device to emulate a typical phone, follow these steps:\n\n1. Install [Android Studio Meerkat \\| 2024.3.1](/studio).\n2. In Android Studio, click **Tools \\\u003e SDK Manager**.\n3. In the **SDK Tools** tab, select the latest version of **Android Emulator** , and click **OK**. This action installs the latest version if it isn't already installed.\n4. In Android Studio, click **Tools \\\u003e Device Manager** , then click **Add a new\n device \\\u003e Create\n Virtual Device** in the **Device Manager** panel.\n\n5. Select a device definition for a [supported Pixel device](#on_pixel) in the\n **Phone** Category tab, then click **Next**.\n\n6. Find the Android 16 system image, called **Baklava** , and click\n **Download**\n next to the **Release Name** to get it. After the download completes, select\n this system image and click **Next**.\n\n7. Finalize other settings for your virtual device, then click **Finish**.\n\n8. After returning to the list of virtual devices in the Device Manager, find\n your Android 16 virtual device and click **Start**\n .\n\n### Set up a virtual device (tablet or large-screen)\n\nTo set up a virtual device to emulate a tablet or other large-screen device,\nfollow these steps:\n\n1. Install [Android Studio Meerkat \\| 2024.3.1](/studio).\n2. In Android Studio, click **Tools \\\u003e SDK Manager**.\n3. In the **SDK Tools** tab, select the latest version of **Android Emulator** , and click **OK**. This action installs the latest version if it isn't already installed.\n4. In Android Studio, click **Tools \\\u003e Device Manager** , then click **Add a new\n device \\\u003e Create\n Virtual Device** in the **Device Manager** panel.\n\n5. Select a device definition with a large screen, such as the **Pixel Tablet**\n in the **Tablet** Category tab or the **Pixel Fold** in the **Phone**\n Category tab, then click **Next**.\n\n6. Find the Android 16 system image, called **Baklava** , and click\n **Download**\n next to the **Release Name** to get it. After the download completes, select\n this system image and click **Next**.\n\n7. Finalize other settings for your virtual device, then click **Finish**.\n\n8. After returning to the list of virtual devices in the Device Manager, find\n your Android 16 virtual device and click **Start**\n .\n\nRepeat these steps to create large screen device definitions that you can use to\ntest your app in a variety of large screen scenarios.\n\n#### Resizable emulator\n\nIn addition to large screen virtual devices that you can configure for Android\n16, you can try the resizable device configuration. When you're using a\nresizable device definition with an Android 16 system image, the Android\nEmulator lets you quickly toggle between the three reference devices: phone,\nfoldable, and tablet. When using the foldable reference device, you can also\ntoggle between folded and unfolded states.\n\nThis flexibility makes it easier to both validate your layout at design time and\ntest the behavior at runtime, using the same reference devices. To create a new\nresizable emulator, use the Device Manager in Android Studio to create a new\nvirtual device and select the **Resizable** device definition in the **Phone**\ncategory.\nUse the resizable device definition for the Android Emulator to test Android 16 in a variety of large screen scenarios.\n\nGet a generic system image (GSI)\n--------------------------------\n\nAndroid [Generic System Image (GSI)](/topic/generic-system-image) binaries are available to developers\nfor app testing and validation purposes on supported Treble-compliant devices.\nYou can use these images to address any compatibility issues as well as discover\nand report OS and framework issues.\n\nSee the [GSI documentation](/topic/generic-system-image) for device requirements, flashing instructions,\nand information on choosing the right image type for your device. Once you're\nready to download a GSI binary, see the [Downloads section](/topic/generic-system-image/releases#android-gsi-16) on the GSI\nbinaries page.\n\n\nMore information\n----------------\n\nTo learn about which changes might affect you, and to learn how to test these\nchanges in your app, read the following topics:\n\n- [Behavior changes that affect all apps](/about/versions/16/behavior-changes-all)\n- [Behavior changes that affect only apps that target Android 16](/about/versions/16/behavior-changes-16)\n\nTo learn more about new APIs and features available in Android 16, read [Android\n16 features](/about/versions/16/features)."]]
