The second week of October is here, and Google has yet to roll out this month’s security patch to compatible Pixel phones. The update should arrive any day now, but ahead of its rollout, Verizon has revealed the changelog for the new build.<\/p>\n
Verizon lists the October update<\/a> for Pixel phones with the September 2025 security patch (via 9to5Google<\/a>). For the Pixel 7<\/a>, 8, and 9 series, the update carries build number BP3A.251005.004.B1, while the Pixel 10<\/a>\u2019s build is BD3A.251005.003.W3. Verizon\u2019s release notes mention only two user interface\u2013related changes for all Pixel phones, which are as follows:<\/p>\n Addressed an issue that caused a semi-transparent background to appear after the camera was launched.<\/p>\n Addressed an issue where the system crashed when starting or stopping casting with the Media Output Switcher.<\/p>\n Device-specific fixes include resolving the issue where the flashlight status didn\u2019t appear in the At a Glance widget on the Pixel 9<\/a> and 10 series. For the Pixel 7, the upcoming build will address a “display and graphics issue that caused the screen to flicker or shut down under certain conditions.”<\/p>\n Pixel’s October update won’t bring any major changes<\/p>\n Android 16 QPR2 \u2014 the next major Feature Drop of the OS \u2014 will only land in December. So, the October update will be a relatively minor one for Pixels, as evident from Verizon’s release notes above. And this should not be surprising, especially since the September update was a big Feature Drop<\/a>, which introduced Material 3 Expressive. <\/p>\n
