Google has concluded the release of the Pixel Tablet and the new Pixel 8a. However, the business has also released the May update for its Pixel handsets.

The deployment of the update to Pixel devices running Android 14—including Pixel 5a and higher—was announced by Google. These phones come with the Pixel Tablet in addition to the AP1A.240505.004/005 builds found in the worldwide variants. Although the distribution started today, Google notes that, depending on the network and handset model, it will continue in stages over the course of the following week.

The May update offers bug fixes and enhancements for Pixel users in addition to the most recent security patch. The aforementioned Pixel devices, like as the Pixel Fold and Pixel Tablet, exhibit enhanced Bluetooth LE audio stability and performance.

Owners of the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro who experienced problems with camera performance in specific situations, like when filming a video, now have a new remedy in the most recent update.

The most recent update for Pixel phones arrives after the Pixel Watch upgrade earlier today. Users may anticipate a phased deployment of the upgrade, which was made available to all Pixel Watch models running Wear OS 4, during the course of the next week.

With the debut of the Pixel 8a and Pixel Tablet behind them, as well as the monthly upgrades to the Pixel smartphones, the search giant is getting ready for the Google I/O 2024 event on May 14, which is just one week away. We probably see software announcements in addition to Android 15, potential updates for Gemini later in the year, and a renewed focus on AI.
