Pixel users facing touch latency and 3 button navigation issues after the latest feature drop update
Another month is in the books, so it’s about time for the latest batch of Android security fixes. Google has published the Android Security Bulletin for the month of December and is also rolling out the update to the Pixel 5, Pixel 4a 5G, Pixel 4a, Pixel 4, Pixel 4 XL, Pixel 3a, Pixel 3a XL, Pixel 3, and the Pixel 3 XL.
This month’s Android security fixes include the usual bevy of fixes along with some specific fixes for Pixel devices. In fact, there’s something for every Pixel from the Pixel 3 all the way up to the Pixel 5. The Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL, unfortunately, have not gotten any of the fixes as per the company’s original calendar commitment. Check out the chart below to see what fixes are in tow for your Pixel smartphone.
The latest security fixes for December 2020 come in a new Pixel Feature Drop, which includes new adaptive features, Google Photos suggestions, and what Google describes as “content-aware battery features.”
But as always, new features means new bugs as well.
So multiple forum posts and threads have popped out in the past 24 hrs complaining about delayed touch inputs while tapping the screen and this is easily noticeable when tapping home/back button while using 3-button navigation mode.
Whilst these issues are prima facie reported by users of the Pixel 4A and Pixel 4A 5G at the moment, the fact can not be overlooked if other pixel devices are affected as well.
In the meantime, users can always resort to gesture navigation as an alternate method of navigating through the phone as well.

Well, hope that Google issues a hotfix for the same, because otherwise the next update for these pixel phones is scehduled with the arrival of new year then.
