No May 2026 update for Pixel 6 series — but the overheating and battery drain still remain
No May 2026 update for the Pixel 6 series again. Pixel 6 devices are among the most affected by battery drain and overheating issues, yet there’s still no proper fix.
Why this unfair treatment toward Pixel 6 users, Google?
Pixel 6 series phones are still officially eligible for security updates, so owners deserve equal attention and support.
The battery drain and overheating problems seriously affect daily use. Since these issues came after updates, Google should acknowledge them and provide a proper fix as soon as possible.
