Google Nexus 6P users will have something to cheer about again this month. Recent reports are saying that Vodafone will release the latest security patch for the said device and it could be coming this week. So how will this new update benefit the device consumers?

Google Nexus 6P or Nexus 6P is developed and marketed by Google and manufactured by Huawei. It is the successor of the Nexus 6 and part of the Nexus line of Google that was released on September 29, 2015 along with Nexus 5X.

Since its release, the device went through some physical and technical issues such as the glass display, microphone problems, Bluetooth and connectivity issues among others just like any other smartphones. But the Google Nexus 6P surpass all this predicament as Google continue to roll out the said device.

Now, the Google Nexus 6P will have another update coming to this week. According to GSMArena, the latest Android security patch for Nexus 6P will roll out beginning tomorrow, March 7 onwards. The new patch will have a build number of N4F26T and 39MB in size.

Nashville Chatter further added that aside from the Google Nexus 6P, all other devices that are under Google will also be receiving the said update. It means that gadgets like Nexus 5X, Pixel C tablets, Pixel and Pixel XL phones will be getting the same security patch this month. Those devices that will be selected will also receive an OTA notification just like the previous procedure.

However, Google Nexus 6P that is running under the Android 7.1.2 Nougat OS that is part of the beta program will not be part of the incoming update as it is still currently being tested.
