Google announced a sweeping round of Android upgrades on Tuesday, Dec. 2, timed with the International Day of Persons with Disabilities. The update bundle includes a second release of Android 16 for eligible Pixel devices , new AI-powered tools, expanded accessibility features and a handful of quality-of-life improvements arriving across the Android ecosystem.
The release also marks a shift for the platform. Google is moving away from a single yearly OS update and toward more frequent drops throughout the year. That means Pixel owners will see major features, like Gemini-powered tools , land sooner instead of waiting for the next major update.
Here's everything coming to Android.
