Meanwhile, the Pixel 2 / 2 XL, Pixel / XL, and Pixel C are also receiving January updates to patch security vulnerabilities and generally just keep up shop. I received the update late last night on a Pixel 3XL unit that was having some stability issues, applied the update, and was greeted by a smoother experience, complete with the audio quality fixes.
Notably exempt from this month’s update are Google’s older Nexus 5X and 6P phones, which have reached the end of Google’s three-year commitment to provide device security updates.
As for availability, the free January update is rolling out to Pixel users throughout today.
