The installing method for these devices is as simple as ABC. Follow the below-given steps correctly and its just a matter of minutes:

1.) First, download the Android P Beta.zip files for the following devices from the official Vivo page.
2.) Move those downloaded files to the internal storage of the devices, don’t place the downloaded file in any folder.
3.) Tap on that downloaded file and a prompt will show up on the screen.
4.) Here select the “upgrade” option and the process will start.
5.) Now as the process finishes your device will reboot with Android P installed.

We will not suggest you install this version on Android P on your daily driver because it may possess some bugs. The official website itself recommends it to be installed on a spare device.
