According to the official changelog, one of the fixes targets slow wireless charging speeds when the battery level is between 75 and 80 percent. The update also resolves an issue where the camera app could freeze while recording video or adjusting zoom.
In addition, Google has fixed a problem causing a flickering white dot or visual noise on the display, along with an issue where the screen could appear fuzzy or unresponsive. A bug affecting the keyboard, where it would appear frozen or render incorrectly, has also been addressed.
