- There are new Android updates for the Pixel 4a 5G and the Pixel 5.
- The update is small (just over 10MB) and likely just security updates and bug fixes.
- This is unexpected, as both phones reached end-of-life status in November 2023.
Earlier this week, Google rolled out the latest Android security patch to active Pixel devices. As expected, the oldest phone to receive that patch was the Google Pixel 5a, which launched in August 2021. However, now there are two updates for other, older Pixel phones: the Pixel 4a 5G and Pixel 5.
You can find the two updates on Google’s list of OTA releases. However, you don’t need to download them from there if you’re not in a rush. Since this is an OTA update, you’ll get a notification on your Pixel 4a 5G or Pixel 5 in the next few days if you haven’t already.
