There has been a lot going on in the past few days. Google has also sent out several system updates for its Pixel phones. We’ll tell you what’s behind it.
Android 13 is almost ready: The last beta is now out
Only a few users will be using Android 13 right now, but that will change very soon. Android 13 has been released as beta 4 these days. According to Google, it is already the last beta version and the final update to Android 13 is only “a few weeks” away. Android 13 will probably be released in the middle of summer, then also as a system update for the eligible Pixel models from Pixel 4 and 4 XL.
July update has been less exciting this time
The July security patch is a new update that should have been available for installation on all eligible Pixel phones by now. This time, however, it is very thin and only brings unspecified “VoLTE calling features” to Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro. Otherwise, the update will of course close other security gaps. There are no other new features and no bug fixes.
Google system updates are extensive and start with Google Wallet
Later than usual, Google released the new Google System Updates. This is known to be multiple updates through different channels. This includes Google Play Services and the Google Play Store. This is how Google implemented the new branding for Google Pay, for example. The app will soon be called Google Wallet again. Another reboot for the payment app.
According to the details released by Google, the latest Google System Updates have been rolling out since July 11th. But it may take a while for these updates to actually reach all Pixel users. At the time of writing, nothing has happened to me on a total of three Pixel devices.
