Google is planning a Linux kernel upgrade for its Pixel phones featuring the Tensor SoC. This upgrade will raise the Linux kernel version from 5.10 or 5.15 to 6.1, which is a rare occurrence for kernel upgrades on Android. The kernel upgrade can be implemented as a regular update on Android, requiring no additional steps from the users. According to reports, Google employees have discussed the kernel upgrade in comments within the Android source code. The upgrade is expected to cover Pixel 6, 6a, 7, 7a, Fold, and 8. The Pixel 9 will also receive the upgrade after its release.
The kernel upgrade aims to enhance the performance of the phones through optimizations in the new version. Additionally, it will enable longer support for the phones, which is particularly crucial for the Pixel 8 devices. Google has promised support for these phones until 2030, while support for the Pixel 7 will continue until 2027.
The specific release date for the upgrade is currently unknown.
