What phone do you own?

[impeeza]

Will that be an update, or come out on new phones only?

We do not know yet, it is only an announcement

Current and upcoming, I'd bet.

At least on current you can delay/block it from being installed, but eventually you'll need to install the latest version for newer features and security purposes.

Google Pixel 6a. Had the battery replaced just before Christmas and it's almost as good as new, will last me until Google stop doing security updates for it.

I bought a 6a and it had that problem, but it wasn't eligible so I traded it in for a 10a.

Pixel 10a at home, Pixel 9a on the go.

Google released this software update for the 9a, but I really don't care to update it. Such a pointless update for me.

And that's nearly 1.50GB.

Was that relatively easy? I've always wanted to do that, just concerned about bricking it.

Super easy. Just follow the instructions in the site.

Near zero chance of a brick.

i'm never going back to stock Google Android. Not unless i have this or Lineage OS as alternatives.
