  • Android 15 update for Pixel 6

    Is this update still bricking Pixel 6 phones?

    On the one hand, I have been holding off on the update due to the
    initial reports. My guess is that Goog is all but ignoring the problem
    at this point.

    On the other hand, hearing some of the other issues folks have had with
    a successful update, I would be smart to continue to hold off on this one.

    On the third hand, I want the new shiny.

    I've not had any issue with Android 15 on my Pixel 8a, but there's not
    much new shine ...

    Mine auto-upgraded to 15 at some point and I didn't notice...

    I don't know. At least on my Pixel 6a it works fine. But so far I did
    not discover any new feature of Android 15 which is absolutely needed
    for me yet.

    The upgrade went perfectly on my Pixel 6a. Everything works as
    expected.

    There is very little visibly new. I hardly see any difference. There
    are a couple new features that are mildly interesting to me but nothing life-changing.

    IOW, don't get too excited about this one. Seems to be just a very
    minor refinement of Android 14.
