The Android security patch for December 2020 is here! If you have a current Google Pixel smartphone, you can now run a software update check in system settings to get it. You can also update manually or just wait for the OTA notification.
According to the December 2020 Android Security Patch Bulletin, this update contains a number of bug fixes. However, Google declined to list exactly what they are. Instead, the focus seems to be on the main feature drop that landed alongside this update.

It should also be mentioned that the December 2020 Android security patch has not yet reached the Google Pixel 2 or Pixel 2 XL. These devices will get one final update this month, although it doesn’t appear to be happening at the same time as their siblings.
If you don’t want to wait for the OTA warning on your Pixel phone, you can always update manually. Click the appropriate link below to download the factory image or OTA. Don’t have a Pixel phone? The Google Pixel 4a is only $ 349 and is one of our favorite phones of the year.
