Android 11 arrives on Pixel smartphones in India

Pixel users in India have a thing to rejoice now. Google has finally rolled out the stable version of the Android 11 update on to the Pixel smartphone in India.

Google’s Pixel smartphones are usually the first ones to get the Android update whenever it is rolled out. However, unlike always, Pixel users in India didn’t get the stable version of Android 11 when it was rolled out to Pixel users across the globe earlier this month. At the time the company had said that it was making Android 11 compatible with the Indian ecosystem, which had led to a slight delay in rollout in India.

Now, the company has finally started rolling out the Android 11 update onto Pixel smartphones in India.

One of Google’s community moderators confirmed the update on the company’s support page. “We are happy to announce that Android 11 has started to roll out to supported Pixel devices in India,” the moderator wrote in a post on the platform.

Apart from this, Google has also updated its Google APIs for Android Page. The company has removed “all countries except IN” from the software update notes for various Pixel smartphone models, thereby confirming that the Android 11 update is indeed available on Pixel smartphones in India.

Meanwhile, if you own a Pixel smartphone, follow these steps to download Android 11 update on your smartphone: open Settings app > tap on System option > go to Advanced option > now go to System Update > tap on Check for Update option > tap on Download Android 11 option and you are good to go!
