Google finally releases March update for Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro

Today’s a good day for owners of Google’s latest smartwatches. The company has finally started the rollout of the latest update to the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro. Two weeks ago was the announcement of March’s feature drop for Pixels that are still supported. Since then, updates to other Pixels have been rolling out all the time.

Now, the latest and greatest will be available to everyone. The release will hopefully address a Wi-Fi reception problem that was discovered two months ago, as well as other issues. This is thus a pretty big update for the Pixel 6 and 6 Pro and if you have either phone it’s probably best not to postpone its download and installation once you receive the notification that it’s available for your device.

This being Google though, that notification may take (many) days, or even weeks to arrive on all handsets. Once you do get the new build, if you’re in the US you’ll be excited to know that both new Pixels now get access to Verizon’s 5G C-Band network, thus having “access to the full power of 5G Ultra Wideband”. As such these Pixels are the first non-Apple, non-Samsung devices to support that band.

If you are able to handle a manual installation, OTA ZIPs , and factory have been uploaded to Google. However, if you’re not sure what that means, you should wait for the rollout over-the air.
