Google is preparing to release Android O to Android users, and, as per the custom, Google’s very own devices get the update before everyone else (even carrier models like the Verizon Pixels). Good news is on the horizon, as a credible source says that the Google Pixel will be the first to get the official Android O update in August, “a bit earlier than Nexuses/Nougat last year.”
Google has usually waited until August (normally, the end) to roll out the new Android system update that comes named after a dessert and starts with the next alphabet in line (“J” for Jelly Bean, “K” for KitKat, “L” for Lollipop, “M” for Marshmallow, and “N” for Nougat, to use a few examples).
