Having confirmed that the name of its next major OS update will be Oreo, Google is now pushing the final version of the update to those in the Android Beta Program, and published new system images.

Google has published its latest monthly Android security bulletin, and released new system images and OTA files for supported Nexus and Pixel devices, targeting a range of vulnerabilities in the OS.

LG is said to be building the Pixel XL, with smaller top and bottom bezels - but those on the HTC Pixel are expected to be huge. Both devices are expected to feature 'squeezy' edges, like HTC's U11.

Google is expected to release Android O for its Pixel phones first, starting in early August, followed by supported Nexus devices. It's likely to be the last major OS update for the Nexus 5X and 6P.

Google has wasted little time in publishing its latest monthly Android security bulletin, and releasing new factory images and OTA binary image files for its supported Nexus and Pixel devices.

Seven months after they were unveiled, Google has added its Pixel phones to its product support life cycle page, confirming that OS updates will end in October 2018, and security updates a year later.

Google has begun rolling out Android 7.1.2 Nougat to the Verizon Wireless variants of the Pixel and Pixel XL, which offers a different build number than N2G47E, the one that want to unlocked devices.

Today, Google announced the next major iteration of its mobile operating system, Android O, also releasing a Developer Preview build. Here's how you can install it on a supported device right now.

Google has acknowledged complaints about microphone issues from some owners of its flagship Android phones, and recommends warranty replacements - but some of those replacements have the same issues.

Verizon has wasted no time in making the latest Android security patches available to Google's Pixel and Pixel XL flagships. The update also includes an additional fix for in-car Bluetooth calls.

Google has started rolling out Android 7.1.1, saying that it "brings many of the cool features of Pixel to everyone". Here's the list of Nexus and Pixel devices that will get the new version first.

You can now get £70 off when purchasing the 32GB Pixel and Pixel XL SIM-free in the UK, or £150 off the upfront cost of the Android 7.1 flagships if you buy them on a two-year pay monthly plan.

Telstra had said it would begin shipping Pixel pre-orders on October 20 - but some buyers have already received them, and are sharing photos, videos and benchmark data from the devices.

It emerged last week that Verizon would be handling OS updates for Google's new flagship phones. But both Google and the carrier have now assured buyers that those updates will roll out without delay.

Google's new flagships offer some 'dust protection', but are only protected against a limited amount of 'water falling as a spray' - unlike the latest iPhones, which can be fully immersed in water.

Priced from $649 and $769 respectively, the Pixel and Pixel XL are aimed at the top of the smartphone market. But what do you think of Google's new flagship phones - and are you planning to buy one?

According to a new report, users of existing Nexus devices will see Android 7.1 Nougat in Developer Preview form before the end of the year. Luckily, there's a changelog available now.

Google says it will provide two years of Android OS updates, and three years of security updates, to its new Pixel phones - perhaps surprising, given that they cost the same as Apple's iPhones.

Google's new flagship phones are packed full of high-end specs including "the best smartphone camera ever", and priced at up to $869 - but they're not "made by Google" as it repeatedly claimed today.
