Followed the instructions as given here - https://developer.android.com/studio/preview/install-preview#change_your_update_channel

There is no dropdown to select the channel. Is there any other way?

Cannot find dropdown to select beta channel

You can install the Beta and other version using the Toolbox App. In the Toolbox click three-dots menu -> Other Versions.

The option seems to be missing from Dolphin as well.

For installing Android Studio itself you can use the Toolbox App as suggested by @viachaslau-tysianchuk.

For installing SDK components from canary / dev / beta channels you can use the command line sdkmanager by specifying the --channel flag, like so:

./cmdline-tools/latest/bin/sdkmanager --channel=1 "extras;google;auto"

Note that the cmdline-tools are not installed by default, you should first install them via the old SDK tools or just download from here: https://developer.android.com/studio#cmdline-tools
