TL;DR

• A new Android Canary build is on the way.
• The upcoming build features the number ZP11.260123.011.

Update (February 12 2026, 3:44 PM ET): Users are reporting that the new Android Canary build is now available on the Android Flash Tool.

The original article (February 12 2026, 1:56 PM ET) explained that Android Canary is a program for Pixel fans who want to experience the bleeding edge of Android. After rolling out the program last July, Google created a r/Android_Canary subreddit for the latest updates.

Every month since the rollout, Google has released a new build. Our first Canary build of 2026 arrived on January 8 with version ZP11.251212.007, which introduced strings about the upcoming App Lock feature for Android 17. The Android Canary subreddit has now revealed that February’s build is on the way with version ZP11.260123.011.

This build has not been released yet, so there’s no information on it other than the build number. However, this suggests that Android Canary 2602 is almost ready to drop.

Like the other Android Canary monthly releases, you’ll receive a notification to install this month’s new one OTA if you’re already part of the program. If you want to join, simply flash your Pixel with Canary 2602 when it becomes available. Remember to back up all your data before joining.
