Details about the November Pixel Update will be announced a little earlier than planned

Google’s November 2024 update for Pixel devices is still under wraps, but Verizon went a little overboard and gave us a sneak peek of what to expect. From the looks of it, we’re seeing a pretty significant update this time for those who have already purchased a Pixel 9, 9 Pro, or 9 Pro Fold device, but there’s some stuff here for older Pixel phones too.

According to Verizon, this update should arrive on November 5th. Such rollouts typically take place on Mondays, but Google has been terribly quiet over the past few days. Regardless, it should arrive in the next few days, and Verizon’s official changelog for this November update (version AP3A.241105.008) reveals a number of fixes and improvements:

Pixel 9 series improvements

• Bluetooth: If you have problems with Bluetooth range, you should find a solution with the arrival of this update.
• Camera: A strange camera tilt error that occurs when switching between lenses should be fixed.
• Sensors: In the event that adaptive brightness does not kick in on time, some corrections are made.
• Touch: Some users reported issues with the keyboard close button, but that has been resolved.
• User interface: This update brings general performance and stability improvements to UI transitions and animations.
• Display & Graphics: This update also resolves a display issue that resulted in flashing white dots under certain conditions for some users.

Improvements for Pixel 6, 7 and 8

For those of you who own a Pixel 6, 7, or 8 series phone, the November 2024 update (version AP3A.241105.007) offers slightly fewer features:

• Security: You’ll get the latest Android security patches and keep your device nice and secure.
• User interface: Just like the Pixel 9 series, expect some general performance and stability improvements for smoother UI transitions and animations.

While Verizon spilled the beans early, we’re still waiting for Google to make things official. However, given this accidental leak, it is very likely that the update will arrive later in the week.
