September 2023 Android security patch here for Pixels

The September 2023 Android security patch is here! If you own a recent Google Pixel smartphone or the Pixel Tablet, you can perform a software update check now in System Settings to grab it. You can also update manually or simply wait for the OTA notification.

With the release of this security patch, we can be pretty certain that Android 14 isn’t coming this month. It’s looking more and more likely we’ll see it debut alongside the Pixel 8 series on October 4. This update only has a handful of security updates, so it’s nothing super exciting. You can see the full changelog here.

If you don’t want to wait for the OTA alert on your Pixel phone or tablet, you can always manually update. To download the factory image or OTA, click the appropriate link below. Don’t have a Pixel? The Google Pixel 7a costs just $499 and will receive software updates until 2028.

Pixels Get A New Update, Ahead Of Android 13’s Arrival


A new update is now rolling out to Google’s Pixels, and this will be the last update before Android 13 lands. We’re talking about the stable build, of course. In any case, the July 2022 security update is now rolling out to Google Pixel phones.

Pixels are now getting a new update, right before Android 13’s arrival

This seems to be a rather modest update, as it doesn’t really deliver anything spectacular, well, other than security updates. That is to be expected, as this is not a Pixel Feature Drop update, or anything of the sort. This is just your regular security update.

The most notable change comes in form of additional VoLTE features for the Pixel 6 and 6 Pro, in certain regions. Other than that, we’re looking at security updates.

This update is rolling out to quite a few devices as we speak. Do note this is a staged rollout. It may take a bit of time for the update to arrive to your device, that’s for sure.

Quite a few Pixels are getting updated

As already mentioned, quite a few devices are getting this update. The following Pixel phones with Android 12 installed will receive this update: Pixel 4, 4a, 4a 5G, 5, 5a, 6, and 6 Pro. That goes for global models.

In addition to that, the Pixel 6 and 6 Pro on Verizon are getting it as we speak, as are the Pixel 6 and 6 Pro in the EMEA/APAC regions.

Do note that a total of 33 vulnerabilities are listed as patched up. Various different changes are listed, ranging from Mediatek, Unisoc, and Qualcomm components, to device framework changes.

Having said that, Android 13 is right around the corner. Google is expected to start rolling out a stable version of Android 13 to its smartphone in just a couple of weeks. So, this is the last update Google’s Pixel phones will see before Android 13 lands.

Considering this is not a feature drop release, there isn’t much to this update besides the security patch. You can see the full changelog here, but it’s pretty thin.

Also, do note that there will be another update this month specifically for the Pixel 3a and Pixel 3a XL. That would be the final update for both phones.

If you don’t want to wait for the OTA alert on your Pixel phone, you can always manually update. To download the factory image or OTA, click the appropriate link below. Don’t have a Pixel phone? The Google Pixel 6 costs just $599 and is our favorite phone from 2021.
