Google’s Pixel phones are the go-to option for those who want snappy Android updates. This is also the case with Android 11. Unfortunately, Pixel owners in India didn’t get an Android 11 on day one, but it looks like the new update is about to be launched.
A moderator from the Pixel Phone Community confirmed that Android 11 is now available for Pixel users in India (h / t: Android police), while several Redditors and Twitter user also reported that they received the update on their phones. The update size seems to vary between 1.4 GB and 1.7 GB. Therefore, users with restricted data plans should connect to Wi-Fi to download them instead.
The news comes about a week after Google confirmed that “Indian ecosystem requirements” are behind the delay.
“We’re working to make sure the Android 11 update is compatible with the needs of the Indian ecosystem and we expect it to roll out next week,” Google said last week.
Pixel owners in India also told us they could get the Android 11 update if they were in the Android 11 beta before. Still, we are happy that the update has finally been released for everyone in the market.
