Pixel phones are getting Android 13 QPR1 beta 3.1 update, November 2022 security patch – Times of India

Google has released two important updates for all Pixel smartphones. The first one is the Android 13 QPR1 beta 3.1 which is a precursor of the upcoming Pixel drop update in December. The other is the November security patch that fixes bugs and security issues on all Pixel smartphones from Pixel 4a onwards.
Android 13 QPR1 beta 3.1 update
The Android 13 QPR1 beta 3.1 update comes to a couple of weeks after Google dropped the QPR1 Beta 3 in the middle of the month. The QPR beta 13.1 is basically an incremental update that fixes various issues across Pixel smartphones from Pixel 4a and later.
The update essentially implies that Google is close to a stable quarterly Pixel drop update scheduled to be rolled out in December. There may be a possibility of Google releasing the Android 13 Beta 4.
November 2022 Pixel security update
Google has also started releasing the November 2022 update, which includes the latest security patch, for the Pixel smartphones running Android 13. Eligible phones will receive a notification once the OTA update is available for their model of the Pixel smartphone.
Google announced that the update will fix the issue which caused the green flicker display on the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro devices. Apart from this, the update improves the thermal performance of the Google Pixel smartphones by optimising display power consumption. There are fixes for the uncertain crashing of the Photos app while using certain editing features.

Google Pixel 4 series reaches end of software support
Both the above-mentioned updates are available for Pixel 4a smartphones and later. This means that both Pixel 4 and Piel 4XL will not be getting any milestone updates, security fixes and quarterly Pixel Drop feature packs.
The smartphone came with Motion Sense technology allowing users to change audio tracks by just waving their hand in front of the screen.
