  • The Pixel 5a is reportedly getting a new update, which could be the farewell update Google traditionally rolls out to end-of-life devices.
  • The update is minor and reportedly includes security improvements and bug fixes.

The Pixel 5a was a pretty good phone for its time. Succeeding the Pixel 4a, it brought a metal build to the A series for the first time. It also holds the crown for the largest display ever on a Pixel A series device — 6.34 inches, and it was the first mid-range Pixel to get an official dust and water resistance rating.
