Google hat ein neues Update für Android Nougat sowie die Sicherheitspatches für den Monat April freigegeben.
Nexus- und Pixel-Nutzer dürfen sich über ein neues Android-Update freuen. Google hat damit begonnen, die Version 7.1.2 offiziell an die unterstützten Geräte zu verteilen. Die Aktualisierung beseitigt einige Fehler, bringt neue Funktionen und verbessert die Performance sowie Stabilität. Derzeit ist das Update erhältlich für Besitzer eines Pixel und Pixel XL (N2G47E), Pixel C (N2G47D), Nexus 6P (N2G47H), Nexus 5X (N2G47F) und Nexus Player (N2G47H). Wer Android 7.1.2 bisher noch nicht erhalten hat, findet auf auf dieser Seite die passenden Factory Images und auf auf dieser Seite die OTA Images zur manuellen Installation. Wie Google auf Reddit mitgeteilt hat, bringt Android 7.1.2 für das Pixel und Pixel XL folgende Neuerungen:
- Improved fingerprint swipe performance
- Additional improvements/fixes for the audio popping issue some users were experiencing while playing audio at high volumes
- Bluetooth connectivity improvements
- Fix to the early shutdown issue
- Battery usage alerts
- Fix to the pink banding issue a small number of users were experiencing on the camera
