Google Ditches Strict Monthly Update Schedule for Pixel Phones, Will Roll Out Updates as Soon as They're Ready
-
Google will no longer follow a set monthly schedule for Pixel updates. Updates will now roll out as soon as they are ready.
-
This new update approach starts with the Pixel 8 series. It's likely for all future Pixels.
-
The update timing may be more fluid - delays could happen but updates could also sometimes arrive early.
-
Monthly updates will probably still be frequent but the specific timing each month is now flexible.
-
Google says this new approach will "deliver the highest quality, best tested updates" after necessary testing is complete.
