The official OS support for Pixel 6 series ended October 2024 but Google has now rolled out Android 16 DP1 to both the Pixel 6 and 6 Pro.

It looks like the Pixel 6’s official Android support may not be quite over. Despite the fact the phone was scheduled to get 3 years of Android updates, which expired last month, the phone has been included in the newly-released Android 16 developer preview — suggesting that it may be getting a surprise Android 16 update sometime next year.
