Google Released A New Update For Android 13 And A Brand New Beta 3.1 Version Of QPR1

Google released the new monthly Android update for its Pixels that are still supported on November 8, 2022. It is the last minor update before the release of the bigger December update. The December release, Android 13 QPR1, has been under open beta testing for a few weeks and was also updated today. 

Within the next few days or weeks, you will get the November update to your Pixel. The update has the build number TP1A.221105.002 for all devices, excluding the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro, with TD1A.221105.003 on Verizon. For all other carriers, the build number is TD1A.221105.001.

The update provides bug fixes for an issue that caused high power consumption while some apps were installed on the Pixel 6, 6 Pro, and 6a. Additionally, patches are included for problems only discovered on the Pixel 7 and 7 Pro: one that would sometimes cause a green display flicker and another that made the Photos app crash when using some editing features. Plus, the display’s power usage has been reduced to improve heat distribution in certain conditions on the Pixel 7 and 7 Pro.

The Android 13 QPR1 Beta 3.1 is packed with fixed issues and bugs as we get closer to the December ‘feature drop’. Google might release another beta version before the final release. If your Pixel device is a part of the QPR1 beta, you will receive this update with the software version T3B3.221003.008 shortly.
