Andriod Q Beta Starting

Ok, downloaded in a surprisingly quick 15 minutes. However, its staying on the bootup G logo an uncomfortable amount of time.
 
Is it all gesture navigation? What's new so far? Getting excited to do this later on tonight!!
 
I have replacement pixel 3XL coming tomorrow, so I might get us a shot tonight on my current Pixel 3XL. Does it reformat your device when you install it, or only if you uninstall before the beta is over?
 
I don't mind bugs, but the only thing I'm ever afraid of is apps like my credit union or other important apps not being compatible or not working at all with a beta.

No full gestures yet , dark theme everywhere but cant toggle off, and some new displayed settings ,snappy also.

Then might wait for beta 2 or 3 before coming on board but no app issue on mine yet even banking.
 
Wow, dark mode on checking for download screen already and haven't even downloaded yet.
OK, still at 0% DL'd. Hoping for a smooth install.
Just got the device not idle , paused. Was getting these on the monthly security updates also. Always starts right back up tho. Hmm, lots of traffic maybe. sweet, can't wait to get this on.
 
Wow, really liking the messages app. Might switch back to it from textra.
Really like what I'm experiencing so far with the overall look and smoothness.
 
So far I've not had any issues. I like what I'm seeing so far. When I lift my phone it now turns on and shows my notifications. Definitely seems more snappy now.
 
Nice, no kidding about lifting the phone. It showed my latest email on my home screen, never did that before. Also, snappy quick responses.
 
Not seeing an issue with photos yet. I like the dark mode in there tho.
 
Against my better judgment, I opted in and it's installing now. Hopefully all will go well. I was a beta tester for ZTE and that was a wild ride. I have other phones so I can always switch daily drivers if there are issues. Hopefully Google's betas will be pretty stable.
 
I have a 3rd party scrabble game app that was always kind of slow to open maybe 5 sec. Now it's instant! Sweet!
