Google gave us new beta software to play with today on our Pixel phones. Android 17 QPR2 Beta 1 is here as build CP41.260701.005 and you can download it right now.
This first beta for Android 17 QPR2 is available for the Pixel 6a up through the Pixel 10 series and Pixel 10a. The Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro have officially been cut off with this release. They will reach end of life with Android 17 QPR1 in September.
| Release date | July 20, 2026 |
| Builds | CP41.260701.005 |
| Emulator support | x86 (64-bit), ARM (v8-A) |
| Security patch level | 2026-07-05 |
| Google Play services | 26.23.34 |
The update brings at least 8 noteworthy bug fixes that we have included below. Since this is a new QPR build, there is a good chance that this brings a lot more too. QPR releases are quarterly builds that often introduce new features and arrive alongside Pixel Feature Drops.
Since Android 17 QPR1 will go stable for September, this update should arrive around December 2026.
