Pixel 6a gets its first software update

The first software update for the Google Pixel 6a has been released. The handset just went on sale yesterday.

While it might be very early for an update, it just raises the Android security patch level of the Pixel 6a’s smartphone to June 2022 and doesn’t provide any new features to the device. August, though, won’t be far off, so it’s possible that Google will release the August security update for the Pixel 6a in the near future instead of the July patch.

This first software update on the Pixel 6a is being released in stages, so it will be at least a few weeks before all devices get it. The following includes the software versions of the update:

REGION	Software versions
Global (Unlocked)	SD2A.220601.003
Japan	SD2A.220601.001.A1
AT&T, T-Mobile	SD2A.220601.002
Verizon	SD2A.220601.004

After setting up your Pixel 6a, if you don’t get the update notification, you can manually check for it by going to the Settings > System > System update menu on your phone.
