Android Canary 2604 launched for the Google Pixel 8 series and newer this week, but users of older Pixels were left waiting.
Google confirmed Android Canary 2604 is now available for the Pixel 6 series, Pixel 7 series, Pixel Fold, and Pixel Tablet as of today.
The latest Android Canary build adds a few user-facing changes, though it’s highly experimental and shouldn’t be installed on primary devices.
Google released April’s experimental Android Canary build earlier this week, but only for select devices. The initial rollout of Android Canary 2604 (ZP11.260320.007) only included OTA images for the Google Pixel 8 series and newer, excluding the older Pixel 6 series, Pixel 7 series, Pixel Fold, and Pixel Tablet. At the time, Google said OTA images for those devices would come at a later date. Now, Android Canary 2604 is officially available for all eligible devices, including the Pixel 6 series and newer.
Google’s Mishaal Rahman announced the expanded rollout for the latest Android Canary build in a post on X (formerly Twitter) on Friday, April 17. Android Canary builds are highly experimental, featuring pre-release Android APIs and behavior changes with kinks that haven’t been worked out yet. As such, it isn’t recommended that you install Android Canary 2604 on your primary device. Those waiting to test this new release safely on an older Pixel, such as a Pixel 6 or Pixel 7 series device, can now do just that.
