Google Begins Rolling Out October Pixel Update With Display and UI Fixes

Pixel 6 models are not included in this month's release.

Overview

  • The staged rollout covers Pixel 7 through Pixel 10 phones plus Pixel Tablet and Fold, with build BD3A.251005.003.W3 for Pixel 10 devices and BP3A.251005.004.B1 for most others.
  • Key fixes address screen flickering and sudden shutdown on the Pixel 7 series, frozen or fuzzy displays on the Pixel 10 line, and occasional system instability on the Pixel Tablet.
  • Google also patched a semi-transparent background persisting after launching the camera, a System UI crash when starting or stopping casting, and missing flashlight status in At a Glance on recent models.
  • Verizon posted release notes before Google published its changelog, and carrier notes list the patch level as September 2025 because the October Android Security Bulletin reports no new issues.
  • Updates are rolling out in phases by carrier and region, and factory images and OTA packages are available for users who prefer manual installation.
