After releasing the March security patch to LG Nexus 5X, Google has rolled out the update to its bigger sibling Huawei Nexus 6P.
Google's Nexus team on Reddit said the security patch (build number: MHC19I) improves the device's performance and also fixes bugs.
The new update can be installed on the device over the air (OTA). The rollout process is being carried out in phases, so it will take a couple of days to reach all corners of the world. A factory image (for manual installation) is also available at Android's official developer website (HERE).
Users with less technological knowledge are advised not to install the update manually. Just wait for a day or two to install the new software with very little effort via OTA.
How to check for firmware update on Android phones:
Go to Settings >> About Phone >> System updates
Here's the official change-log:
- General device performance
- DND next alarm disappearing issue
- Carrier-specific bug fixes
- Connectivity improvements
