It\u2019s Friday, so Google has continued on with its schedule of releasing new Android 17 beta updates to take us into the weekend. Today, they released Android 17 QPR2 Beta 7 for all of the still-supported Pixel devices.<\/p>\n
The new update only has a couple of bug fixes, so it does appear to be minor. This would be Google fine-tuning everything as we approach a stable release that should arrive in December alongside the next Pixel Drop.<\/p>\n
The update is available to the Pixel 6a up through the new Pixel 11 series. The Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro have reached end of life<\/a>, so they will not see Android 17 QPR2.<\/p>\n Release dateOctober 9, 2026BuildsCP41.260831.016Emulator supportx86 (64-bit), ARM (v8-A)Security patch level2026-10-05Google Play services26.28.33c<\/p>\n Android 17 QPR2 Beta 7 bug fixes and changes<\/p>\n Excessive battery drain during idle states when Flip to Shh prevents the device from entering deep sleep.
