Google’s been previewing its big fall Android update for months now, and after a whole lot of Betas, today we’re finally checking out the full, stable release of Android 17 QPR2.

We’ve already highlighted the new features arriving (and those expanding to more devices) as part of Google’s November Pixel Drop, as well as looked over the bug fixes and stability tweaks landing with this month’s Pixel update.
