Overview
- Google’s Pixel lineup began receiving build CP1A.260505.005 on Tuesday in a staged rollout that will continue over the next several weeks.
- All supported models get a fix for slow wireless charging that kicked in around 75% to 80% battery, along with a keyboard patch that stops frozen or misaligned input screens in some apps.
- Pixel 10 phones pick up display repairs for a flickering white dot and for screens that could look fuzzy, freeze, or show noise lines, and the base Pixel 10 gets a fix for camera freezes while zooming during video recording.
- The update raises the Pixel 10 series bootloader’s anti‑rollback version, which blocks downgrades to older Android 16 builds and can brick devices if manual flashing leaves one update slot on the old bootloader.
- Eligible devices include Pixel 7a, Pixel Tablet, Pixel Fold, and the full Pixel 8, 9, and 10 families including 10a, with older Pixel 6 and 7 series not listed, and many outlets note this may be the last Android 16 patch before Android 17.
