The Google Pixel 6a That went on sale yesterday receives its first software update. However, it brings no new features to the Pixel 6a and only increases the Android security patch level on the smartphone until June 2022.
Given that Samsung has already started rolling out the August 2022 patch, we would have liked to see Google release the July 2022 patch for the Pixel 6a. August isn’t far off though, so we can see Google skipping the July patch and releasing the August security update for the Pixel 6a soon.
That said, the software update for the Pixel 6a is rolling out in a phased manner and it will take at least a few weeks for all units to 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 the installation, you can check it manually by going to the smartphone Settings > System > System update menu.
