The Pixel 11, 11 Pro, 11 Pro XL, and 11 Pro Fold series will receive an out-of-cycle update in September 2026, prior to the official release of Android 17 QPR1.

The update is notably smaller than expected, under 100 MB for these devices. As of now, Google has not posted factory or OTA images for manual installation, indicating that this may be the initial release of Android 17 rather than a hot patch specifically for the Pixel 11 series.
