The August 2026 security update for Google Pixel devices is now available. This release covers the Pixel 8 series through the Pixel 10 series and the Pixel 10a. It serves as the final update before the upcoming September QPR update and the next major feature drop.
For most global devices, the build number is CP2A.260805.005. Devices running on the Rogers network have a specific build designated as CP2A.260805.005.A1. Users can check for these updates by navigating to Settings, System, Software updates, and System update. Alternatively, factory images and OTA files are accessible through the developer portal for those who prefer manual installation.
The update includes specific bug fixes. These address crashes in gaming applications, improvements to GPU performance, and a fix for touch panel unresponsiveness. These particular fixes target the Pixel 10 family of devices. Google has not provided specific details regarding the status of updates for the Pixel 6 and 7 series, which have seen inconsistent support cycles recently.
As these updates roll out across carrier networks including Verizon, T-Mobile, and AT&T, some users may receive them sooner than others. It is standard practice to wait for the automatic notification, though power users have the option to flash files directly if they choose. This release keeps recent hardware current with the latest security standards provided by Google.
