We reported earlier today that the Pixel 3a and Pixel 3a will remain on the March security patch until next month. The Android Beta Program will be updated until June.
The easiest way to install Android Q is via the opt-in Beta Program that downloads the latest version just like a month security OTA. Another way is by flashing a factory image or sideloading an OTA image from the Android Developers page.
That latter road is the only solution as of this evening. Google has updated the Android Beta Program site to note how "Pixel 3a and Pixel 3a XL will be eligible in June." However, Q Beta 3 can still be installed by flashing manually, though the phones are not currently listed on the Android Q Beta Devices list.
Further complicating this are carryforwards of early Pixel 3a beta for the Android Beta Program. This discrepancy is quite odd and likely related to the Pixel 3a's manufacturing schedule dictates that the phones be preloaded with a Pie build from March.
The April and current May security patch will be included Monday, June 3rd. Android Q Beta 4 is scheduled for early Wednesday. As flashing / sideloading is a relatively simple process, those that want the Android Q Beta on their device will not be too hard a time. However, it is another to the usual narrative of the software.
