Anticipation Builds for the July Update

The tech world is buzzing with excitement as the July 2025 Pixel update is just around the corner. While official rollout details are still under wraps, Verizon has given us a sneak peek into what Pixel users can expect!

Verizon's Early Changelog Leak

On July 2, Verizon accidentally revealed the update changelogs for various Pixel models, including the Pixel 6a and the Pixel 9 Pro Fold. Interestingly, the Pixel 6 and 6 Pro were left off this list. As of Thursday morning, Google had yet to make an official announcement.

Mark Your Calendars: Update Expected on July 8

Based on an email sent to Pixel 6a users, the update is likely to start rolling out on Tuesday, July 8. Google has shifted away from its usual first-Monday release schedule, but the timeframe still aligns around this date, especially with the Independence Day holiday in the U.S. likely causing delays.

What’s in the Update?

The latest software build (BP2A.250705.008) includes tweaks that should enhance your experience. The update will address two major points: 1. **Display & Graphics**: Expect smoother visuals in apps, notably improving experiences in Android Auto. 2. **Wi-Fi**: Enhanced stability and performance for Wi-Fi connectivity under specific conditions.

A Step Toward Android 16

This update marks the first patch for Android 16, with another update anticipated in August, leading up to the highly anticipated QPR1 release featuring the stunning Material 3 Expressive redesign.

No Word on Pixel Watch Update

For those eagerly awaiting a Pixel Watch update, it appears you may have to exercise a bit more patience. The next anticipated update for Google’s smartwatch is not expected until September, barring any urgent fixes for Wear OS.
