Google Releases Android 17 QPR1 Beta 7 for Pixel Devices

On July 15 2026 Google began rolling out Android 17 QPR1 Beta 7 to all supported Pixel phones and tablets. The update carries the July 2026 security patch (CP31.260623.005) and is positioned as a bug-fix-focused iteration following Beta 6, which had already rendered the release “platform stable.” The build is available via the Android Beta Program’s OTA channel and as downloadable images for developers.

Two weeks earlier Google issued Beta 6, which marked the first version of Android 17 QPR1 deemed stable for everyday use. That milestone set expectations that subsequent betas would concentrate on polishing the experience rather than introducing major new features. Early observations indicated no missing downloads for any supported device, suggesting a smooth distribution pipeline.

Beta 7 is offered for every Pixel model from the Pixel 6a onward, including the Pixel 7 series, Pixel 8 series, Pixel 9 series (Pro, Pro XL, Pro Fold, and 9a), Pixel 10 series (Pro, Pro XL, Pro Fold, and 10a), as well as the Pixel Tablet, Pixel Fold, and the Android Emulator (x86 64-bit and ARM v8-A). The build number is CP31.260623.005, and the security patch level is 2026-07-05. Google Play services are updated to version 26.20.31.

Google advises users to join the Android Beta Program to receive the OTA update automatically. For those who prefer manual flashing, OTA images are provided on the program’s website. The company also encourages participants to file bug reports through the Android Beta Feedback app, accessible from the app drawer or Quick Settings, and to engage with the Android Beta community on Reddit.
