Google Confirms New December Pixel Update

by · Droid Life

The mystery second December update that arrived on Pixel phones earlier in the week remains mostly a mystery today, but at least we have factory image files for it.

The new December update first popped up on Pixel devices running on Verizon’s network, with the Pixel 8, Pixel 9, and Pixel 10 series devices all getting the fresh build. Verizon included a changelog for it that included 3 changes. However, within a few hours, other Pixel devices not on Verizon received a similar update and we now know exactly which devices should be seeing it.

We’re still only getting new builds for the Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro and 10 Pro XL, Pixel 10 Pro Fold, Pixel 9a, Pixel 9, Pixel 9 Pro and 9 Pro XL, Pixel 9 Pro Fold, Pixel 8a, Pixel 8, and Pixel 8 Pro. The Pixel 6 and Pixel 7 devices, as well as the original Pixel Fold, are not seeing this update yet. The builds are as follows:
