Nokia 1 Starts Receiving April Android Security Update in India
Nokia 1 has started receiving a new stability update that
includes the April Android security patch. HMD Global had previously brought
the same security patch for Nokia 3, Nokia 6 (2018) and Nokia
7 Plus models. The update comes days after Google formally released
the April Android security patch for compatible Pixel and Nexus
smartphones.
HMD Global had announced the Nokia 1 at the
Mobile World Congress in Barcelona in February this year. The company's first
smartphone running Android 8.1 Oreo (Go edition), went on sale in India last
month.
The update brings the April 5 security update to the Nokia 1, as well as
improved system stability, but nothing else was mentioned in the change log.
Notably, the update is 142.6MB in size and is available as an OTA
(over-the-air) release. You can check its availability by going to Settings > About phone > Software
updates.
Google's April Android security
update comes in two security patch levels, and they address various
system-level vulnerabilities, ranging from high to critical. As per the Android Security Bulletin for
the month of April, the most severe of the issues spotted by the Android team
is a critical security vulnerability in media framework that could let a remote
attacker silently execute arbitrary code using a "specially crafted
file".
To

display and is powered by a 1.1GHz quad-core MediaTek MT6737M processor coupled
