Pixel 8 phones sold by Rogers in Canada may also be excluded.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The August software update for Pixel phones has started making its way to users. This month\u2019s update includes a handful of relatively low-key bugfixes on Pixel 10, and also patches a security vulnerability Google categorized as high-severity.<\/p>\n<p>Google announced the update in <a href=\"https:\/\/support.google.com\/pixelphone\/thread\/456979478\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">a post on the Google Pixel community forum<\/a>. The biggest change is that, on Pixel 10-series phones, a few bugs have been fixed: certain game-related crashes should be fixed, as well as GPU and touchscreen issues.<\/p>\n<p>There are two versions of the update rolling out. Most phones will see the global variant, which brings their software up to version CP2A.260805.005. Phones from Canadian service provider Rogers will be updated to version CP2A.260805.005.A1.<\/p>\n<p>Phones eligible for the update include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Pixel 8 (Global update only)<\/li>\n<li>Pixel 8 Pro (Global update only)<\/li>\n<li>Pixel 8a (Global update only)<\/li>\n<li>Pixel 9<\/li>\n<li>Pixel 9 Pro<\/li>\n<li>Pixel 9 Pro XL<\/li>\n<li>Pixel 9 Pro Fold<\/li>\n<li>Pixel 9a<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Pixel 10<\/li>\n<li>Pixel 10 Pro<\/li>\n<li>Pixel 10 Pro XL<\/li>\n<li>Pixel 10 Pro Fold<\/li>\n<li>Pixel 10a<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>According to the <a href=\"https:\/\/source.android.com\/docs\/security\/bulletin\/pixel\/2026\/2026-08-01\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">accompanying Pixel Security Bulletin<\/a>, the update fixes a high-severity security vulnerability involving the phones\u2019 video processing unit, though Google doesn\u2019t provide many specifics about that vulnerability.<\/p>\n<p>Google says that both Pixel 6- and 7-series phones are <a href=\"https:\/\/support.google.com\/pixelphone\/answer\/4457705?hl=en-GB#zippy=%2Cpixel-a-pixel-pixel-pro-pixel-a-pixel-pixel-pro-and-pixel-fold\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">eligible for software updates for five years<\/a> from their <a href=\"https:\/\/support.google.com\/pixelphone\/answer\/15738422?sjid=8709070025395727498-NC\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">initial release dates<\/a>, which would mean the Pixel 6 should be up to date through October of this year and the Pixel 7 a year longer than that. Based on what Google\u2019s published, though, those phones aren\u2019t getting this update.<\/p>\n<p>Pixel 8, Pixel 8 Pro, and Pixel 8a phones from Rogers also aren\u2019t included in the update, according to Google\u2019s documentation. It\u2019s not clear why.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019ve got one of the Pixel phones listed above and you\u2019re on Android 17, the August update should hit your phone soon. Google says it\u2019s rolling out starting today.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for being part of our community.
