Google Pixel 4 and 4 XL, the latest official patch has been released
Google has released a software update for the Pixel 4 and 4 XL smartphones. It includes a number of minor bug fixes and security patches, but more importantly, it officially became the last update for both versions of the branded smartphone.
The October patch was technically the final one for the original Pixel 4 and its XL version. According to the Google roadmap, this is the last of the guaranteed updates for devices introduced in 2019. Officially, the vendor has not yet announced this, but, according to Android Police journalists, both gadgets are waiting for the fate of their predecessors. At best, smartphones will receive one or more security updates, but not a new version of the OS.
