The most significant software update for the phones since they were released in October is today. The company detailed a lengthy list of bug fixes and improvements that are included in the December update, which has now started rolling out to both devices.
The older devices started receiving the update last week. Since there are a lot of improvements directed at the company's latest flagship phones, there was a need for more time to deliver the Pixel 6 and 6 Pro version. With the release of this release, the company is polishing and improving the software.
Changes to the fingerprint sensor are listed first on the list. We will have to see if the unlocked phones have gotten any quicker or more consistent after installing the update.
There are a number of camera refinements that are specific to the Pixel 6 lineup. They include.
Improvements in camera preview and capture.
Improvements for camera stability and performance.
Improvements for auto-focus response in certain capture modes.
The viewfinder preview has improvements for color consistency.
There is a fix for the issue of blank viewfinder preview.
It might take more time to iron out the issue of reducing the amount of noise in videos captured on the Pixel 6 and 6 Pro, because they don't mention it.
There are fixes for screen flickering and a bug that could prevent the display from changing its refresh rate as intended in the December update. There are a number of audio and Bluetooth bugs that have been fixed, and the entire Pixel lineup has improved battery performance and thermals in certain conditions. If there is a particular problem that you have been running into, you should definitely look over the list of fixes on the internet.
This update is required to get the full 23W wireless charging speeds from the new Pixel Stand 2 that is just starting shipping to buyers. If you want to install the update on your Pixel 6 or 6 Pro, you have to head to settings, scroll down to "system" and then select the system update.
