Overview
- Google delivered a small out‑of‑cycle OTA to Pixel 11 devices under the build name CD1A.260905.001.A1 that shows a September 1, 2026 security patch level.
- The update is compact, reported under 100 MB for several Pixel 11 models, and some users who installed the first build later received an additional ~97 MB update.
- Rollout was uneven, with reports that the initial push was pulled for some devices and that Google followed up by posting a B1 factory image and OTA files for manual installation.
- The release lacks the visual and feature changes expected in the planned Android 17 QPR1, which indicates this is a hotpatch addressing specific Pixel 11 bugs rather than the full QPR1 feature drop.
- Given recent Android 17 beta milestones and an expected QPR1 stable release, the patch signals Google is fixing immediate Pixel 11 issues now and Pixel 11 owners should check System Updates or use the posted images to apply the fix.
