Getting regular security updates can be quite troublesome for most Android users especially those who have devices that are from not from Google. That is one of the main reasons why I chose to get a Nexus 6P and a Google 2XL a few years ago.

I previously had the HTC One X+ and the LG G3 and the only way I was able to keep those phones up-to-date in terms of OS and security updates was by rooting them.

The latest update, which is the August 2020 Android security update, was released last August 3rd and was pushed to my device last August 25th. Which is pretty good, given that my device is not a Pixel device. I’m not exactly sure who’s responsible for these speedy updates, whether it’s the phone maker Samsung or my mobile carrier Koodoo but nevertheless, I’m grateful that my device is receiving OS and security updates regularly.
