It is a big day in the world of Android, as a new month is here and that means new updates for Google’s Pixel line of devices. This also marks an important month for the new Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro, with the November Android update being the first for these phones.
Outside of the Pixel 8 line, Google is still sending updates to the Pixel 4a 5G, Pixel 5a, Pixel 6 and 6 Pro, Pixel 6a, Pixel 7 and 7 Pro, Pixel 7a, Pixel Fold, and Pixel Tablet.
This could be the final update for the Pixel 4a 5G, though, and the Pixel 5 should be done. According to the Pixel update schedule, the Pixel 5 was supposed to be cutoff after October’s update, while the Pixel 4a 5G is reaching end of life, possibly this month.
Here are the build numbers you’ll want to grab:

Again, Google should begin pushing these updates shortly over-the-air (Settings>System>System update), but if you don’t want to wait for Google and prefer to update manually, you will find each factory image or OTA file at the links below.
