The Google Pixel and Pixel 2 Android 8.1 Oreo updates are finally here after months of testing. It offers new features and lots of bug fixes. Here we’ll go over everything you need to know about the update. Including some reasons to download and not download today and what to expect.
Android 8.1 is the first major update to Oreo since it arrived in August, so it’s a big deal. And while not a ton of visual changes, it’s an important update for your phone.
This is an enticing update, especially for those who are having issues with the Pixel on Android 8.0 Oreo. Here we will talk about all the new features, performance and bug fixes you can expect on your device.
There are currently two ways to get the update. Whether you’re waiting for an over-the-air update notification, going out for the week, or joining the beta program. Before you get started though, there are some important things you should know as you move forward.
One thing to consider is that this update has just arrived and it might be a good idea to wait a few days or even weeks. Wait to see if any errors pop up or wait to see if reports confirm the issues you’re having. However, given the long beta period, it’s most likely ready for initial rollout.
