TL;DR

• Google paused the December 2025 update rollout for the Pixel 7a.
• Google could issue a mid-cycle hotfix or bundle everything into January’s update instead.

Google’s December 2025 update rollout has been smooth for almost every eligible Pixel — except the Pixel 7a. Newer and older models are already running Android 16 QPR2, but 7a owners are still waiting. It’s frustrating, but there might be a good reason Google halted the update for this specific model.
