Google's August Android security patch now available for Nexus and Pixel devices
While waiting for the Android O update to arrive, those using Nexus and Pixel devices get another official set of patches from Google. The Android updates for August target quite a few Google smartphones, phablets, tablets, and even the Nexus Player. Soon, the devices from other brands should get the new firmware as well - or at least some of them.
This is the full list of Google devices that receive this month's security patches:
Downloading the right firmware for one's device might not be as simple as it looks since multiple files are available for the Nexus 6, Pixel, and Pixel XL.
Pixel and Pixel XL users have firmware for unlocked units, as well as for those on Verizon, Deutsche Telekom, or T-Mobile/Fi carriers/Rogers. There are also two different updates for Nexus 6 models. The Nexus 9 tablet also gets two different updates - one for the WiFi variant, and the other for the LTE model.
