Several users report that their phones downloaded a 2GB Android 12 update. Google started rolling out Android 13 to supported Pixels yesterday.

Anonymous, 17 Aug 2022Before iPhone X, they have no idea how.. and stuck with tha... moreNot True. Android had the first Under Display Fingerprint scanner. Not even the UI is close to Apple. The closest thing to Apple is Samsung. And Has Android Copied Apple with Still having Headphone Jacks in 2021? No or Expandable storage in the First place? Not even close. Android is Nothing Like Apple and if it were itd be very uncompatible with Windows, Very Expensive (Which Android isnt) And super tight like apple is. Sure maybe fingerprint readers were copied but Apple actually uses Samsung for their Displays. Name one new Feature after XR that Android didnt have but now does that Apple had. Even so its not illegal or Android would be sued. If they did copy they did a better job of it and Apple needs to step up their game. Had Samsung Copied apple with the Flip of Fold? Nope. All Samsung’s Idea. Apple is sitting their with normal phones and nothing innovative. Sure they have a VR headset coming out next January but who wants to pay $2000 for a VR headset when a Oculus is only $300? And thats something Android hasnt or isnt going to copy.

            I got the Android 12 update on my semi-new Pixel. Installed it, rebooted, then got the Android 13 update recommendation.

            Annoying, but a small price to pay. Broadband in the UK (more than often) does not have a bandwidth cap, so it was a minor problem.

            Either way, I've got Android 13. Glad I moved from OnePlus to Pixel as it's still on Android 11.

              Here Pixel Goes Again First Fingerprint Recognization Issues, Now this. Im not surprised, as I said before Pixel really isn’t anything special. You’d think the company who owns Android would be better at making and designing the Software on their own phones. Still Its loads better then IOS will ever be.

                I still remember that news "Once updated to Android 13, Google Pixel 6, 6 Pro, and 6a cannot be downgraded". That's why, Google still continues to provide updates for Android 12😂

                  Someone must be trolling at Google honestly...

                    SShock, 16 Aug 2022Lol, Google as a software company is literally a walking me... moreGoogle screws up software and hardware. Perhaps Google is trying to follow OnePlus in the software department. As for hardware...well, every other OEM does hardware better. I've not heard of other phones with so many issues as the Pixel 6 series (fingerprint and connectivity issues, etc).

                      Best example of backwards compatibility

                        This brands wants to make foldable. Cant even handle regular phone.

                        Speaking of foldables, xiaomi ismgonna charge more than $700 in case inner screen needs replacement. 😂 . These screens do not even cost 1/4 of this to OEMs.

                          Google Pixel moment, they always be messing things up.

                              Some days ago fanboys were arguing with me that Pixel is better than Samsung. This is a great answer for you.

                                  Pixel owners: That's the most embarassing thing that has happened to this phone.
                                  Google: That's the most embarassing thing that has happened to this phone so far.
