This week, Google is distributing the September security patch to all Pixel devices that support it, starting with the Pixel 6 series. Numerous updates are included, and fortunately, Google offers a comprehensive list of all the new features.
The most recent Pixel 10 devices will have BD3A.250721.001.B7, the Pixel Tablet will have BP3A.250905.014.A1, and most Pixel owners will want to see build version BP3A.250905.014 to make sure they’re running the most recent version.
Among the highlights are fixes for Pixel Launcher crashes, call audio quality issues, camera stability issues, “overall improvements for network connection stability,” and enhanced Bluetooth stability for a variety of phones. The whole list and the devices it applies to are shown below. However, we’re pleased with the list overall.
