It’s above one year since we came to listen the Pixel 6 will goings to release soon but till now it’s come to delay. But I think now the wait is over because it is estimated that the December 2021 and January 2022 updates for the Pixel 6 line were delayed from their usual first Monday of the month availability. The Pixel 6’s OTA schedule looks like it will return to normal with the February security patch.
Canadian carrier Fido was given a hint to the users on Twitter by their tweet that the “Google Pixel 3a – 5” and “Pixel 6 / 6 Pro” will get the February SMR (Security Maintenance Release) on Monday, February 7. (The first of next month happens to fall on a Tuesday.)
So we come to know that the Fido makes reference to “& more” for the older Google phones, but we’re not expecting a feature drop or anything similar just yet. Well according to the sources it’s a normal flowchart by Google which is running from a very old time. Meanwhile, the Pixel 6’s last update had one global build with no carrier variants.
Pixel 6 February Patch
But the things don’t stop here, Pixel 6 hasn’t been Google’s smoothest launch from a software perspective. Well, upcoming sources are informed that Google did not provide release notes until all other phones got the November OTA. But the relaxing news is that most owners received the November security patch after getting their devices in late October, which is dose important for the users. The OTA was paused and the factory images were removed. Lastly, Google pre-announced that the January update would not be arriving “late” in the month, though it ended up rolling out faster than expected.
Hopefully, the February patch marks a return to normal for the Pixel 6. Meanwhile, the Pixel 6 December build was delayed a week, and when it became available some users in Europe reported calling issues. We can just hope for the best.
