About Pixel updates
Pixel phones receive regular software updates that include security enhancements, new features, operating system updates, bug fixes, and more.
If you bought your device from the Google Store, updates will typically reach your device within 2 weeks. If you bought your device elsewhere, updates can take longer.
Pixel phones get updates for security issues documented in our Public Android Security Bulletins.
