Overview

  • Google is rolling out a small September OTA (BD3A.250721.001.E1, ~31MB) to the Pixel 10, 10 Pro, and 10 Pro XL that it says fixes critical bugs and improves stability.
  • Verizon indicates the update addresses a widely reported fuzzy or snowy display glitch on some Pixel 10 units.
  • Availability differs by source on factory images for this micro‑patch, with some outlets citing OTA‑only postings and others reporting factory images are live.
  • This is the second September update for Pixel 10 devices after an earlier patch fixed black‑screen transitions, a power‑button issue with Android Auto and USB‑C charging, and keyboard responsiveness problems.
  • Google added the Pixel 10 lineup to the Android Beta Program and released Android 16 QPR2 Beta 2 at Platform Stability, bringing developer verification, SMS OTP protection delays, custom app icon shapes, a new ART generational CMC garbage collector, and Health Connect step tracking to supported Pixels.
