TL;DR<\/p>\n
- \n
- The Pixel 8 phones are receiving their first firmware update.<\/li>\n
- This update is part of Google\u2019s November 2023 software update for Pixel phones.<\/li>\n
- It fixes a \u2018screen jerkiness\u2019 issue on the Pixel 8 range, among other tweaks.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n
The Google Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro<\/a> launched just over a month ago, bringing a host of upgrades and software additions to the table. Now, the new phones have received their first update as part of the Pixel line\u2019s November 2023 updates.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\nGoogle confirmed<\/a> the release of the November 2023 update (h\/t: 9to5Google<\/em><\/a>), adding that it would be available on the Pixel 4a 5G and later, the Pixel 5 and newer, and the Pixel Fold<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\nThe manufacturer also detailed a few device-specific tweaks. We\u2019ve indeed got a fix for a Pixel 8 series issue that results in occasional \u201cscreen jerkiness when touch registration becomes imprecise.\u201d The update also fixes an occasional green flash when turning off the Pixel 7 Pro<\/a> screen. And yes, Google is finally fixing a serious storage bug<\/a> affecting older Pixels.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\nWhat else to expect from these updates?<\/h2>\n
The tweaks don\u2019t end here as Google also outlined a list of bug fixes for all Pixels. Check them out below.<\/p>\n
- \n
- Fix for issue occasionally causing NFC and related services to have instability in certain conditions<\/li>\n
- Fix for issue occasionally causing system instability when apps request an app that is no longer installed<\/li>\n
- Fix for issue occasionally causing desktop icons to disappear after unlocking device<\/li>\n
- Fix for issue occasionally causing the wallpaper to be misaligned for devices with a notch or hole punch camera<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Google says the November 2023 update has started rolling out to all Pixels, but cautions that the release will continue over the next week in phases. So don\u2019t despair if your Pixel 8 or older Pixel hasn\u2019t received the update just yet.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
