Since last week, the Developer Preview version of Android N is available for download. For this, two solutions are available, manual installation and update OTA. In one case as in the other, the future updates will be for their automatic ...
Google has set up with the arrival of Android N Android Beta program, which recovers Android Preview N on his phone (or tablet / her multimedia unit) as if it were a simple making day.

Remember, an update is provided every month until the final release of Android N, itself fixed to the end of the summer. You therefore have a little time to join this program and avoid having to flash each update individually.The risk is always present
Go through official updates might seem safer, but the risks are indeed present yet. Indeed, as noted AndroidPolice, various people started complaining of problems during installation of the update, resulting in a "soft brick" the device.
