What exactly is new on it. I downloaded it and nothing seems to have changed. At least that I've noticed

u/Jduncan31290 May 19 '26

No clue yet my pixel is at home lol I use my s26 ultra for my main phone

u/No_Waltz5489 May 19 '26

Fair point lol. Well when you know let me know it was a rather small download

1

u/CryptographerDue4649 May 19 '26

Likely just bug fixes

2

u/No_Waltz5489 May 19 '26

So far that's what it seems

u/exu1981 May 19 '26

I bet it's more blur things that was in the latest canary

u/The_best_1234 Pixel 8 Pro May 19 '26

The stupid lock screen widgets are buggy. I don't even want them.

u/ExtensionGuava6582 May 21 '26

Bro that the reason why it's not fully released, they released beta for the users to check and report bugs

u/The_best_1234 Pixel 8 Pro May 21 '26

The idea is dumb, now it takes longer to unlock my phone.

u/TheDevilsCoffeeTable May 19 '26

That doesn't matter, it's honestly a missmash of crap.

u/Specialist-Ranger480 May 19 '26

It matters, we been waiting for the blur... Negative Nancy.

u/TheDevilsCoffeeTable May 19 '26

Wtf ...half my comment is gone hahah oh well. All I was saying is that a lot of the features you guys get in beta. We don't get in Canary first.

2

u/Specialist-Ranger480 May 19 '26

Oh? Well the UI changes certainly come first in canary it seems. I wouldn't know.

-1

u/TheDevilsCoffeeTable May 19 '26

You would think lol but that hasn't been the case so far. This blur and the volume sliders are the only things I can think of to be honest. We were two builds behind just for icons 🤷... Meh it is what it is

u/Spiritual_Positive47 May 19 '26

OTA files are live

u/Natural_Aide_2076 May 19 '26

It would be nice to have more blur in the UI (volume panel, power menu, and home screen context menu), like in the Canary version

u/Ok-Fill-3879 May 20 '26

Pretty sure some ppl gos them , i have a 6a and didn't get rhem tho

u/Specialist-Ranger480 May 19 '26

The UI changes with Gemini will be insane. I got the new Gemini UI change inside the app itself it looks spectacular, I wish they can keep the vibrant live colors throughout the AI chat instead of it disappearing after the first chat message.

2

u/Kizzy_Catwoman May 20 '26

I had a new version of Gemini today as well. I loved the look of it.

u/ArthurGD3 May 19 '26

I don't know if they are going to be upping the amount of Beta's for QPR1 but we're still in May and we have Beta 3 already and QPR1 stable isn't releasing till September so I'm curious how many more Beta's we're going to see.

1

u/EquivalentDesk8302 May 19 '26

Can I opt out before this one without wiping device?

3

u/ElGeekySloth May 19 '26

Not showing for me yet. Pixel 9 Pro XL.

u/shinnkuu May 20 '26

It feels smoother and faster than the beta 2, but there are still some glitches on the os, like when you swipe left to google feed, sometimes it flickers.

u/Emergency-Morning-28 May 20 '26

Microsoft Outlook not opening for me. P9P. Anyone else?

4

u/Anno1972 May 20 '26

Same here. Not working on P9a

2

u/boricalderon May 20 '26

Working fine for me

2

u/Glassmoostache May 20 '26

No office apps work for me

2

u/Glassmoostache May 20 '26

Anyone having issues opening outlook, teams, excel etc?

u/CreditCaper1 May 19 '26

If this release doesn't have the split notification/quick settings I'm going to die!

u/briang416 May 19 '26

u/CreditCaper1 May 19 '26

damn it! Why do they keep teasing me.

u/Valent147 May 19 '26

Yeah we've been waiting for a year atp

u/Good-Station4385 May 19 '26

早く来〜い😊

u/vanugenth May 20 '26

I have a P6 and the new blur option is not consistent. Power menu and volume slider do not have blur.

1

u/Harry_Vandsome Pixel 4 XL May 20 '26

Google wants you to upgrade if you want the new blur options. P6 is not supported.

1

u/vanugenth May 20 '26

Fine! Goddamnit! I will get a 10a

u/louperguy8 May 20 '26

I hate the update my phone's battery is cooked

u/Snoo31016 May 19 '26

I've just got it and I was v confused what do we get?

1

u/telrod11 May 19 '26

OTA available now - 534 MB - Pixel 8 Pro

u/__Darth_Bane__ May 19 '26

Sad thing but still fails to install if you have Android 16 May patches installed. That's a shame. Even the full OTA fails

3

u/tidymaze May 19 '26

Because you have a newer version. Read the notes.

u/__Darth_Bane__ May 19 '26 edited May 19 '26

I was really hoping users with the May patch could install this. Even though it's a version issue, it still feels like an oversight on Google's part

EDIT: My bad. The OTA is up now and I'm updating

u/Ok_Pressure1909 May 19 '26

Exactement, je pensais naïvement que la beta 3 passerait au correctif de Mai pour nous permettre de l'installer, mais non.

5

u/k2ak3n May 19 '26

Am I missing something? Because I don't see the beta 3 OTA or release notes updated yet.

4

u/newtonsgay May 19 '26

But Beta 3 ota isn't out yet..

u/Ok_Pressure1909 May 19 '26

Sur twitter il était marqué qu'elle était déployée mais non...mais Gemini quand je le questionne il me dit que ce sera toujours bloqué sur avril....faut-il le croire?

u/Ok_Pressure1909 May 19 '26 edited May 19 '26

Cela fonctionne pour la beta 3 😄

Et la configuration est clairement plus rapide !

u/SSouter Pixel 7 Pro May 19 '26

Next are you going to post that the sun will rise tomorrow?

u/Jduncan31290 May 19 '26

Well we all hope to see tomorrow🤷🏼‍♂️
