Android Canary 2611 is out today for Google's most adventurous testers

Nov 4, 2026 — 3:09 PM ET

- Google’s latest bleeding-edge testing track release is now available.

- Firmware images have landed on Google’s servers for Pixel 6a and newer devices.

- We’re still on the lookout for an official announcement, and word of any major changes.

November has landed with a bang. Already we’ve left daylight savings time behind us, and the US just wrapped up a big election. We’re only a few days into the month, but things aren’t slowing down now, and Google’s keeping that momentum going with its latest Android Canary release.

We haven’t seen an official announcement just yet, but over on Telegram, our beloved Pixel Factory Images Tracker channel is cataloging the new firmware images showing up on Google’s servers.

Last month, we were over a week into October before Android Canary 2610 debuted, so it’s nice to see Google getting right down to business, so early in.

Just like we’d expect, we’re seeing Canary 2611 images available for devices from the Pixel 6a, up through this year’s Pixel 11 family. You can grab the firmware for your device through the Telegram link above, but your easiest option is probably heading over to Google’s online Android flashing tool and using that to install Canary on your handset.

Once your Pixel is running Canary, it will automatically update to each month’s new release as they arrive. Before you flash this or any Android build, just make sure that you’ve backed up all important data on your device.
