Samsung managed to outperform Google in terms of initiating the December security patch rollout, but the most unexpected entry in the club was none other than Realme. The Chinese OEM recently pushed out the latest secuirty update for Realme 1 as well as Realme U1.
Nokia is also present in the race, as Nokia 6.2 got the December secuirty update a while ago. However, the Android 10 OTA for both Nokia 9 PureView and Nokia 7.1 arrived with one month old patchset.
Looks like you have to choose between the latest monthly patch and Android 10 update, as the same saga happened with Nokia 8.1 in past. To make things further complicated, the phone even received the October patch on Pie as well as 10. Nevertheless, the November patch is finally rolling out.
As you can see, the size of the incremental update is absolutely minuscule (~17 MB). Guess Nokia engineers still need some time to address the speaker output and Bluetooth related bugs introduced with the Android 10 update.
The OTA bumps the internal software version from V4.15C to V4.15D. If you want to skip the waiting queue, grab the zip from the next section:
- Device: Nokia 8.1
- Codename: phoenix_sprout
- Channel: Global Stable
- Version: V4.15D
- Android: 10
- Type: Recovery (Delta)
- Download: From V4.15C to V4.15D
Talking about Realme, yet another phone from OPPO’s distant cousin picked up the December patch. We are talking about Realme 3 Pro, which is stuck with October patch for a while.
The previous update introudcued the long-requested dark mode feature alongside touch related optimizations. With the new build (A.21), Realme is offering a bunch of new launcher and notification tweaks.
