Overview
- Google published the stable September 2026 Pixel update on Tuesday as build CP3A.260905.009 and began rolling it out over the air to Pixel 6 through Pixel 10 families.
- The update is the first stable Android 17 QPR1 quarterly release after an extended beta cycle and includes new Pixel Feature Drop changes plus a broad set of bug fixes.
- Pixel 11 phones received targeted September hotpatches earlier in the month and are effectively on the same software baseline, which is why they are not listed in the new build rollouts.
- Google and carrier partners will push the update via OTA while also posting factory images and OTA files for users who want to install manually, though carrier timing can vary.
- This release will be the last major update for Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro before those models reach end-of-life next month, a change that should influence owners deciding whether to upgrade or keep their devices.
