Summary
New Pixel 11 buyers are being prompted to install an out-of-box Android 17 update during setup, taking phones from build CD1A.260618.001.C2 with the June 5, 2026 patch to CD1A.260714.001.A9 with the August 5 patch.
Google is also shipping a separate Play System update: devices start on the May release and can update to the July build, with each update requiring its own restart.
All four models — Pixel 11, Pixel 11 Pro, Pixel 11 Pro XL and Pixel 11 Pro Fold — use the standard Pixel path in Settings under System, then Software updates, to check both update tracks.
Google has already posted Pixel 11 factory images alongside the retail launch, giving users a recovery option if software problems arise.
