The Google Pixel 6a that went on sale yesterday is getting its first software update. However, it doesn’t bring any new features to the Pixel 6a and only raises the Android security patch level on the smartphone until June 2022.
Considering how Samsung has already started rolling out the August 2022 patch, we would have liked Google to release the July 2022 patch for the Pixel 6a. However, August isn’t far away, so we could see Google skip the July patch and release the August security update for the Pixel 6a soon.
That said, the software update for the Pixel 6a is being rolled out in phases and it will be at least a couple of weeks before all units receive it. It comes with the following build numbers:
- Global (Unlocked): SD2A.220601.003
- Japan: SD2A.220601.001.A1
- AT&T, T-Mobile: SD2A.220601.002
- Verizon: SD2A.220601.004
If you don’t receive the update notification on your Pixel 6a after completing its setup, you can check for it manually by going to your smartphone. Configuration > system > System update menu
