Google Pixel 8a New software Update
Besides the AI wallpaper feature, the software update brings bug fixes and improves overall performance that brings the Pixel 8a closer to other models in its series. For reference, the Pixel 8a was announced on May 7 and is a new addition to the Pixel 8 lineup. It boots Android 14 operating system, and Google has committed seven years of updates encompassing OS, security patches, and feature drops.
The maiden software update is 189MB in size, but takes some time to install. It is also said to improve the phone’s security and brings safeguards to protect the device against potential susceptibilities.
