Google took to its community forum for Pixel phones to share the full list of fixes, and it’s actually pretty long. There are close to 50 fixes and improvements that touch battery and charging, biometrics, the camera, displays, user interface and more.
The full list is just below, but some items that stick out are fixes/improvements to wireless charging stability, camera performance, Android Auto over Bluetooth, touch sensitivity, adaptive brightness response speed, network stability, and basically everything listed in the UI section .
If you own a Pixel 4a, Pixel 4a 5G, Pixel 5, Pixel 5a, Pixel 6, Pixel 6 Pro, Pixel 6a, Pixel 7, or Pixel 7 Pro, many of these changes will affect your phone in a good way.
