The update arrives as Android 16 QPR3 Beta 2.1 and appears to be a little bug fixer that they didn\u2019t even provide a changelog for.<\/p>\n<p>The update is available as build CP11.251209.009 for the Pixel 6\/6 Pro\/6a\/7\/7 Pro, along with build CP11.251209.009.A1 for the other devices, like the Pixel 10 series. Again, we don\u2019t know of any changes, only that Google is pushing this out a few weeks before we expect this QPR3 build to go stable as the March Pixel update with Pixel Feature Drop goodies alongside it.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s the important release info:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Release date<\/strong>: February 10, 2026<\/li>\n<li><strong>Build<\/strong>: CP11.251209.009 (Pixel 6 Pro, Pixel 6, Pixel 6a, Pixel 7 Pro, Pixel 7)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Build<\/strong>: CP11.251209.009.A1 (all other Pixel devices)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Emulator support<\/strong>: TBA<\/li>\n<li><strong>Security patch level<\/strong>: 2026-01-05<\/li>\n<li><strong>Google Play services<\/strong>: 25.47.33<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The OTA for Beta 2.1 should be live already. You can enroll your device for the Android Beta <strong>here<\/strong>. Of course, you can go the manual route with\u00a0OTA files here\u00a0and\u00a0factory images here.<\/p>\n<p>Info on the Android 16 QPR3 Beta 2 build can be found here.<\/p>\n<p>\/\/\u00a0Google<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.droid-life.com\/2026\/02\/10\/android-16-qpr3-beta-2-1-update-released-for-pixel-phones\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Android 16 QPR3 Beta 2.1 Update Released for Pixel Phones https:\/\/www.droid-life.com\/2026\/02\/10\/android-16-qpr3-beta-2-1-update-released-for-pixel-phones\/ Publish Date: 2026-02-10 16:34:00&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":212083,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.droid-life.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Android-16-QPR3-Beta-scaled-2292x1200-cropped.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[46],"tags":[70,72,57],"class_list":["post-212082","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-android","tag-google","tag-pixel","tag-security"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/212082"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=212082"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/212082\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":212084,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/212082\/revisions\/212084"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/212083"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=212082"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=212082"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=212082"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
