Verizon has prematurely published details for several devices, including the Pixel 6a through Pixel 9 Pro Fold. Oddly, even the Pixel 6 and 6 Pro are listed as receiving the update—well ahead of Google’s official announcement. Although the supposed release date was July 2, Google hadn’t made anything public as of Thursday morning.
Based on emails received by Pixel 6a users, it’s likely the actual OTA (over-the-air) rollout will begin Tuesday, July 8. Google no longer sticks to the traditional “first Monday of the month” schedule for Pixel updates, and this delay may be partially due to the July 4th holiday in the U.S., which often pushes timelines back.
The software version, build number BP2A.250705.008, appears to be accurate—though the listed Android security patch level is shown as “June 2025,” which is likely an oversight or publishing error.
What’s New in the July 2025 Pixel Changelog?
According to the preliminary changelog, the July update focuses on two key areas:
-
Display & Graphics: Enhancements aimed at delivering smoother visual performance, particularly in apps like Android Auto.
-
Wi-Fi Connectivity: Improvements in Wi-Fi stability and performance under specific conditions.
This marks the first patch for Android 16, setting the stage for next month’s QPR1 (Quarterly Platform Release), which is expected to include a broader Material You 3 Express redesign.
No Pixel Watch Update Expected This Month
Don’t expect a new update for the Pixel Watch this July—unless Google unexpectedly pushes a critical Wear OS fix. The next scheduled Pixel Watch update is projected for September 2025.
