Whoops! Verizon just leaked a secret Pixel update – here are the upgrades you can expect very soon

• Verizon has detailed a Pixel software update that could be landing very soon
• The details have since been removed from Verizon's site, presumably because it wasn't meant to share them yet
• The update might include battery improvements and bug fixes

Your Pixel phone might be about to get some improvements and fixes, as the next software update could be rolling out very soon – possibly even today.

If that all sounds a bit vague, it’s because Google hasn’t actually announced anything yet, but Verizon has, with the carrier posting a full change log for the upcoming update on its site. Predictably, this post has since been taken down, presumably because the information wasn’t meant to be known yet, but handily, Droid Life spotted these details while they were still up.

Apparently, this upcoming November update will be rolling out for every model from the Google Pixel 7a onwards, and it’s said to include general improvements for charging and battery usage, along with the latest security patches.

It also reportedly includes some bug fixes, such as a fix for an issue that could prevent apps from loading, and a fix for a problem that could stop webcam mode from working properly with connected devices.

Performance problems and camera concerns

Those improvements and fixes apparently apply to every Pixel model due to receive this update, but the Pixel 8 series, the Pixel 9 series, and the Pixel Fold will supposedly also get a fix for an issue that could cause system instability and performance slowdowns.

Finally, the Pixel 9 line and Google Pixel 10 series will apparently get a fix for an issue that causes photos taken with the ultra-wide and telephoto lenses to exhibit a rainbow-like color pattern under certain conditions.

So, there seemingly aren’t any real new features here, but the battery improvements sound intriguing, and the various bug fixes and security patches will be well worth having.

Of course, until Google announces this update, we’d take all of these details with a pinch of salt, but it’s unlikely Verizon would post incorrect information.

And if you were hoping for new features, you might still be in luck, as we previously heard that a Pixel Feature Drop might also land soon, complete with theme packs and other customization tools.
