Despite the hype around Android 17 Beta 1’s arrival, Google has backtracked on the beta release, citing some last-minute changes. However, that doesn’t mean that the Android 17 update isn’t coming after all.
In fact, Google has clarified that the new beta version is “coming soon.” With the beta right around the corner, platform stability expected in March, and the stable version coming out in or around June 2026, you might want to know whether your Pixel phone supports Android 17.
Full list of supported Pixel devices
Below is the list of all Pixel phones that support the Android 17 Beta 1 update and, therefore, the stable version.
- Pixel 6, Pixel 6 Pro, Pixel 6a
- Pixel 7, Pixel 7 Pro, Pixel 7a
- Pixel Tablet
- Pixel Fold
- Pixel 8, Pixel 8 Pro, Pixel 8a
- Pixel 9, Pixel 9 Pro, Pixel 9 Pro XL, Pixel 9 Pro Fold, Pixel 9a
- Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro, Pixel 10 Pro XL, Pixel 10 Pro Fold, Pixel 10a (upcoming)
At launch, the Android 17 Beta 1 should be available to test on 22 devices (including the upcoming Google Pixel 10a).
It’s worth mentioning that this will be the last operating system update for the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro, as the five-year support window ends in October 2026.
Other Android smartphone makers could get faster updates
What’s interesting is that Google is skipping the traditional Developer Preview phase this year and jumping straight into the public beta cycle.
Instead of relying on phased preview drops, the company has been testing the early Android 17 changes in the Canary channel, which should refine APIs and core features before they reach the public beta stage.
That should result in more polished beta releases for Pixel users and earlier access to stabilized code for partners and brands like Samsung, OnePlus, and Xiaomi.
In other words, Android-based smartphone manufacturers can start their own beta programs sooner, narrowing the gap between Android 17’s Pixel rollout and its wider availability across third-party devices.
