For the first time since giving Pixel phones stable Android 17, Google has issued a monthly patch. The July Pixel update is here and hopefully it takes care of a first batch of bugs handed out from last month’s large update.

According to a short changelog from Google, we are looking at 5 fixes that touch on apps, framework, system, and the user interface. One of the biggest fixes involves a boot loop bug. Things should only get more stable from here.

July Pixel update device list

The update is available to the Pixel 6 up through the Pixel 10 series, including the Pixel 10a. We’re surprised to see the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro on this list knowing that their update frequency has changed in recent years.
