Starting with Android 11 Developer Preview 4, a few Pixel 4 users, including us here at Android Police, noticed an odd display flicker bug, which we could pin down to some rapid flip-flopping between the 60 and 90Hz modes.
Unfortunately, the bug is still present two development cycles later in Beta 2, but Google has promised that it will fix the issue with an update slated to be released in two weeks.
Making matters worse in Beta 2 is the fact that the Force 90Hz option has been removed from the developer settings, so it's impossible to evade the flicker without resorting to more cumbersome solutions.
Luckily, Android Vice President Dave Burke himself noticed the issue and confirmed to Android Police's Artem Russakovskii that the problem has been resolved internally and the fix will ship in about two weeks.
While it would've been great to see the fix in Android 11 Beta 2, especially since the release is so focused on stability, it's still good that Google hasn't forgotten about it and is working on polishing the new OS even further
