A comprehensive November update is also available for all users of Google Pixel smartphones that are already equipped with Android 13. The latest software patch includes the November patch, among other things, but also fixes some bugs that sometimes severely affect the user experience. On the Pixel 6 , Pixel 6 Pro and Pixel 6a , for example, the update ensures that the increased power consumption when installing certain apps no longer occurs.
On the other hand, the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro may experience green flickering on the screen under certain conditions. The update eliminates this error. In addition, the update ensures optimized power consumption and the above-average heating of the two devices that can be observed in certain scenarios should no longer occur. In some cases, on the Pixel 7 and the Pixel 7 Pro , it can also be observed that the photos app closes out of nowhere. A bug that Google also wants to have fixed with the latest Pixel update.
