Google Pixel devices are getting the Android 17 beta version and it available over the air update which anybody can install.
Android 17 beta update is already here.
Android 17 version is already live, at least in the beta version for Pixel devices as Google enters 2026 with focus on making the latest number available at the earliest. The company did make a goof-up with the Pixel 9 launch when it did not have Android 15 (the latest version) available with the new devices.
Since then, Google has revised its schedule, which is why the Android 17 beta has started in February itself, with the official release expected not far from now. The Android 17 logo is out, the new version is also available over the air but only for its own devices as of today.
