We’re getting closer to the Android 13 QPR3 update coming to all Pixel phones in June with the next Pixel feature drop, so it only makes sense that Google will ramp up the beta update release with additional bug fixes before we get there. Today, they did just that.
Google has posted Android 13 QPR3 beta 3.2 update for Pixel phones with at least 5 significant bug fixes. Google fixed a touch input issue, one that caused Wi-Fi calls to disconnect, another involving SIM card detection, and an issue that caused cellular connection speed and reliability to drop.
This new update is already live for Pixel 4a and 4a 5G, Pixel 5, Pixel 5a, Pixel 6 and 6 Pro, Pixel 6a, and Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro.

Below, we have links to factory images and OTA files for people to update the old school way, but you don’t have to go that route to update. You can always enroll in the Android Beta Program (here) and get the update over-the-air that way. Do this for those who would rather avoid a command prompt and the adb command. Google should start pushing the update through the Android Beta program soon.
