Pixel 11 series still not on Android 17 QPR1 with October update

The Pixel 11 series, which includes the Pixel 11, 11 Pro, 11 Pro XL, and 11 Pro Fold, remains on Android 17 rather than the more recent Android 17 QPR1 as of the October 2026 update. The devices were initially launched with the base Android 17 in August. Following a series of early updates in September, Google introduced QPR1 to all other Android devices.

Some notable system changes in QPR1 include the introduction of system blur for the volume slider and power menu, a narrower updated system media player, a "Don't ask me again" toggle on the Mobile Data Quick Settings Tile, and the addition of a Keyboard QS Tile. However, the Pixel 11 series did not receive the initial Android 17 QPR2 Beta 6 release and had to wait for Beta 6.1, which introduced HiLight support for message notifications.

The Pixel 11 series did receive the 17 QPR3 Beta without issue a few days later. The October update contains fixes for the Pixel 11, and it is unlikely that a second October release will occur, with all attention now directed towards November. Given that QPR2 is only a month away at that point, Google may opt to wait until December to align all the devices. For more news, viewers are directed to 9to5Google on YouTube.
