Google has guaranteed Pixel users up to 5 years of continuous monthly security patches. Keeping to its word, Google has released the November security patch for the Pixel 7 family. The Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro smartphones have both begun to receive the newest security patch update. It’s a minor update with a few bug fixes sprinkled throughout. The update’s primary goal is to extend the battery life of the devices.
The Pixel 6 series also received the security patch update. The Pixel 7 lineup will receive “optimizations for display power consumption to improve thermal performance in certain scenarios,” while on the other hand, last year’s Pixels will receive a “fix for an issue causing excessive power consumption while certain apps are loaded.”
Here’s the complete changelog for the update:
