Google Pixel 6a is getting its first software update

The Google Pixel 6a, which went on sale yesterday, is getting its first software update. However, it does not bring any new features to the Pixel 6a and only raises the smartphone’s Android security patch level until June 2022.

Considering how Samsung has already started rolling out the August 2022 patch, we’d love to see Google roll out the July 2022 patch for the Pixel 6a. However, August is not far away, so we can see Google skipping the July patch and rolling out the August security update for the Pixel 6a soon.

However, the software update for the Pixel 6a is rolling out in stages and it will take at least a few weeks before all devices get it. Available 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 get an update notification on your Pixel 6a after completing its setup, you can check for it manually by going to the smartphone Settings > System > System update menu.
