But before we dive headfirst into 2026, we\u2019ve got at least one more system update arriving for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/stick-with-google-pixel-phones-despite-weaker-specs-why-3607336\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Pixel phones<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t want to miss the best from Android Authority?<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/andauth.co\/AAGooglePreferredSource\" class=\"e_rm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer nofollow noopener\"><img class=\"e_jg\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  title=\"google preferred source badge light@2x\"  alt=\"google preferred source badge light@2x\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/google_preferred_source_badge_light@2x.png\"\/><img class=\"e_jg\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  title=\"google preferred source badge dark@2x\"  alt=\"google preferred source badge dark@2x\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/google_preferred_source_badge_dark@2x.png\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Like any other month, we got December started with Google\u2019s latest bugfixes and security patches hitting Pixel devices. And while normally that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/december-2025-pixel-update-3621533\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">December update<\/a> would have to tide us over until January, this week Google has started seeding a second update that\u2019s already arriving on Pixels.<\/p>\n<p>Just a little earlier today we spotted a Reddit thread from user <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/GooglePixel\/comments\/1pp7g8d\/second_update_for_december\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">tgrsnpr<\/a> where Pixel 8, 9, and 10-series owners confirm that a new update arrived for their phones today. We\u2019ve since been able to verify this on a Pixel 10 Pro, getting the update just now:<\/p>\n<p>As you can see, it is very small, suggesting that we\u2019re looking at something like a hotfix for a critical issue \u2014 and not much more. But so far there\u2019s really not much we know about this update. Presumably availability extends down to the Pixel 6 series, but we\u2019ve yet to confirm that.<\/p>\n<p>Google\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/developers.google.com\/android\/images\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Pixel firmware downloads<\/a> still list only the original December update, and we\u2019ve yet to see anything resembling a changelog for what\u2019s rolling out today. As we keep digging around, we\u2019ll update you with any further details we\u2019re able to confirm about this new release .<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for being part of our community.
