A new update for Google Pixel phones was initiated on Wednesday, targeting multiple issues affecting the Pixel 8-10 series. This out-of-cycle update addresses problems such as abnormal battery drain, unresponsive touch screens on the Pixel 10, and access issues to cached content after upgrading to Android 16 from earlier versions.
The update, which has the global build number BP4A.251205.006.E1, is available as a factory image and an OTA file, allowing users to manually install it if they have not yet received the on-device update. The file size for the update is approximately 25 MB.
While Verizon released the changelog detailing these fixes, Google has not yet disclosed additional information. As of Friday afternoon, the rollout appears to be ongoing, with some users, including those with unlocked devices, beginning to receive the update. However, devices on the Google Fi/T-Mobile network have not yet received it.
