Google has unveiled the Pixel 10 series and initiated the Android 16 QPR2 Beta 1 rollout for Pixel devices, preceding the stable QPR1 release with its Material 3 Expressive redesign.

Google has one of the best software update promises in the industry, and it extends this promise to the Pixel 10.

Why are Google Play system updates so important? As I mentioned above, unless you're on a Pixel, any regular Android update comes straight from your phone's manufacturer, and not Google itself.

Android 16 QPR2 Beta 1 gives a preview of what the upcoming big December update for Pixel phones will bring.

Google is rolling out an update to Pixel Weather on older phones that finally brings homescreen widgets into the app.

The update works with all current Pixel phones, from the Pixel 6 up to the Pixel 9 series. If you want to downgrade your Pixel to Android 16's stable release, do not install the QPR2 beta.

Ahead of the QPR1’s big Material 3 Expressive redesign going stable, Google is starting the Android 16 QPR2 Beta today for Pixel devices.

The Pixel Watch 4 is the first serviceable Wear OS smartwatch from Google with repair options, but only for certain parts.

The regular Pixel 10 doesn’t use an LTPO panel, and it has a more restricted refresh rate than the Pixel 10 Pro models. These differences could make adding the feature a hindrance to battery life.
