Google has started rolling out Android 17 QPR2 to supported Pixel phones, bringing the November 2026 security patch, 166 additional Pixel security fixes and 33 functional fixes. The release arrives about a month earlier than expected and is available for the Pixel 6a and newer devices, as well as the Pixel Fold and Pixel Tablet, according to 9to5Google’s rollout report.
Google’s November Pixel Update Bulletin, published on November 10, lists additional security fixes across kernel, system, firmware and other components, including critical remote-code-execution and privilege-escalation vulnerabilities. The dedicated Pixel bulletin lists 166 additional fixes. Google says the 2026-11-05 security patch level addresses all issues in the Pixel bulletin and the November Android Security Bulletin.
The broader Android bulletin covers 135 security issues for the 2026-11-01 patch level and 97 for 2026-11-05, according to 9to5Google. The Pixel update also includes 33 functional fixes across apps, audio, battery and charging, Bluetooth, camera, connectivity, display, framework, performance, sensors, system, telephony and the user interface. The changes include fixes for virtual keyboards failing to appear in search fields, charging indicators appearing when no charger is connected, photos failing to save on some Pixel 11 devices, and notification shade problems.
The release arrives with the November Pixel Feature Drop, which expands Gemini Intelligence to the Pixel 10 series and adds features such as Rambler dictation, custom home-screen widgets and broader Pixel Search availability. 9to5Google lists build CP4A.261105.040.A1 for most global devices, while the Pixel 11 family uses CP4A.261105.040.D1.
