Anyone who has just unpacked their brand new Pixel 6a will enjoy a week full of powerful events right from the start. Big updates are rolling out and you can order your free headphones from Google
Pre-orderers can pick up their Pixel Buds A-Series
Of course, you must pre-order and order your Pixel 6a by August 1st for the free headphones. If so, you can prove your purchase from Google and thus “order” your Pixel Buds A-Series. Hopefully the free supplement will be shipped to you quickly, but a longer wait time is possible.
Android 13 is rolling out, but not alone
Anyone looking forward to new functions and bug fixes will celebrate the current update rollout. Android 13 finally appears in the final version. But there’s more to the new Android version. Google is rolling out a very comprehensive update to the Pixel phones.
The new August 2022 security patch is also included. But even more obvious is the list of bug fixes and improvements. Here’s a list of Google’s total of 150 points that aren’t directly related to Android 13. Some bug fixes are specific to the Pixel 6a, while many are common to Pixel phones.
We get another update via Google System Update. Some innovations for various Google apps have been integrated into the August version.
Android 13 and Co: What else to consider?
The other points are not entirely irrelevant. Those already participating in the beta program should unsubscribe now if they do not wish to participate in beta testing for upcoming quarterly updates. It’s still possible for a few days before Android 13 QPR1 Beta 1 rolls out in September.
Last but not least, it’s interesting that once you’ve updated to Android 13, there’s definitely no going back for Pixel 6 or Pixel 6a users. Google has changed the bootloader, so Android 12 can no longer be run.
