If you\u2019ve been seeing your Pixel 10\u2019s display go all snowy for a few minutes at a time, good news: Google\u2019s rolling out a small but important update that should finally put that worrying glitch<\/a> to rest.<\/p>\n

A quick over-the-air Pixel 10 update<\/p>\n

Unheralded, but highly worth it<\/p>\n

\"A<\/p>\n

The new OTA update, build BD3A.250721.001.E1, is hitting Pixel 10, 10 Pro, and 10 Pro XL devices starting today. At just around 31MB, it\u2019s a quick download, and like most post-launch hotfixes, the official changelog is as vague as it gets: \u201cThis update fixes critical bugs and improves the performance and stability of your device.\u201d<\/p>\n

Thankfully, Verizon is a little more forthcoming, noting that this update specifically addresses “an issue that caused users to experience a fuzzy display.” That\u2019s the same colorful snow\/static effect some owners started reporting shortly after launch \u2014 one that we also noticed on a review unit. The phones remained responsive, but the screen would briefly look like an old-school TV with bad reception, which isn\u2019t exactly what you want from a brand-new $1,000 smartphone.<\/p>\n

This marks the second software patch for the Pixel 10 series this month. Out of the box, the phones shipped with Android 16 QPR1 and an August patch, then received a day-one update and an early September patch that improved stability, display transitions, and even fixed a bug with the power button when connected to Android Auto.<\/p>\n

While Google hasn\u2019t published factory images for this update yet, the OTA is live immediately through Settings > System > Software update. No other Pixel devices are seeing updates today, making this a very targeted rollout \u2014 a good sign if you were among those affected by the display issue.<\/p>\n

Google told Android Authority<\/a> earlier this month that it had started pushing fixes on Sept. 3 “with more to follow in the coming weeks,” and this appears to be the follow-up patch they were referring to. If you\u2019ve noticed any jarring display errors on your new Pixel phone, this update\u2019s worth grabbing right away.<\/p>\n
