Wed Jan 08 18:10:00 UTC 2025: ## Google Rolls Out Minor January Update for Pixel Devices
**Mountain View, CA – January [Date]** – Google has released the first 2025 software update for its Pixel smartphones and tablets. The update, largely focused on bug fixes, affects all currently supported Pixel devices, from the Pixel 6 to the recently launched Pixel 9 series. No major new features are expected, following December’s Pixel Feature Drop which included significant additions and bug squashing.
The update includes three different builds: Global, Telstra, and EMEA. Users can receive the update over-the-air (OTA) through their device settings or manually install it using factory images or OTA files provided by Google. Supported devices include the Pixel 6, 6 Pro, 6a, 7, 7 Pro, 7a, 8, 8 Pro, 8a, Fold, Tablet, and the entire Pixel 9 lineup (Pixel 9, 9 Pro, 9 Pro XL, and 9 Pro Fold).
Google and major carriers like Verizon, T-Mobile, and AT&T will begin distributing the OTA update shortly. Users seeking immediate access can find the necessary files and instructions on Google’s developer site.
