The August 2019 Android security update is now available for all of Google’s currently supported Pixel devices (Pixel 3a, Pixel 3, Pixel 2, and Pixel). Both factory images and OTA files can be grabbed if you don’t feel like waiting for Google to push the update to your device.

Currently, we are seeing new 9.0.0 files for Pixel 3a and Pixel 3a XL (PQ3B.190801.002), Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL (PQ3A.190801.002), Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL (PQ3A.190801.002), and Pixel and Pixel XL (PQ3A.190801.002).

RIP, Pixel C. This is two months in a row now without a new update.
