But a long update commitment would be no good without adherence to quality. After trying to tell itself for years that it can deliver security patches on the first Monday of every month, Google has finally realized that that’s not a realistic target.
So while Pixel users will still get updates every month, they won’t necessarily arrive on the first Monday of the month. Instead, they will be deployed as soon as Google has performed the necessary tests.
We also dug into how we can deliver the highest quality, best tested updates to Pixel users on a consistent basis. As part of this effort, our security updates, bug fixes and feature updates won’t roll out on a specific day each month. Instead, we’ll deploy updates as soon as they’ve completed the necessary tests to ensure they improve the experience for all Pixel customers.
