The upcoming change of the month already heralds the next big Android security update, but before that happens, we’ll be looking at a whole series of other smartphone updates. There have been new software updates not only for many Android phones in the past few days, but also for Apple iPhones . An overview.
APPLE FIXES VULNERABILITIES IN IOS 14.7
We have already told you in detail what changes will result on current iPhones with the update to iOS 14.7 . But just one week after the introduction of iOS 14.7, iOS 14.7.1 is the first important update from the update. It fixes an issue where iPhone models with Touch ID cannot unlock a paired Apple Watch using the Unlock with iPhone feature. Much more important, however: the software patch also contains important security updates for security gaps, some of which are already being actively exploited by hackers. Apple therefore advises all iPhone users to update as soon as possible.
ONEPLUS WITH NUMEROUS UPDATES
An update to OxygenOS 10.3.12 is available for the OnePlus 6 and OnePlus 6T . Not only does it improve overall system performance, but it also brings the July patch for the Android operating system to the phone.
The Chinese manufacturer is now rolling out OxygenOS 11.0.2.1 for the OnePlus 7 and OnePlus 7 Pro . Although only the May patch for Android is part of the update so far, there are a few other improvements. For example, the battery consumption of the two smartphones should improve after installing the software update. In addition, the two phones are said to be less prone to overheating. And the camera software has also been updated. OxygenOS 11.0.2.1 for the OnePlus 7T and OnePlus 7T Pro promises the same improvements .
Updates also for newer OnePlus models
Available
for the OnePlus 8T : OxygenOS 11.0.9.9. This update focuses on a smartphone camera bug. Because in certain scenarios it is possible that the screen lights up brightly without this update when a recording is made in night mode.
And for the OnePlus 9 and OnePlus 9 Pro you have also been able to install new firmware for a few days: OxygenOS 11.2.8.8 . With this new firmware, not only does the July patch for Android land on the smartphone, OnePlus also gives the always-on display a Bitmoji function (Settings> Adjustment> Clock on the inactivity display> Bitmoji).
And perhaps the most important update: OxygenOS 11 for the OnePlus Nord N10 5G . It not only brings Android 11 to the smartphone, but also the June patch. In combination with camera improvements and an optimized ambient display, numerous new functions land on the mobile phone.
UPDATES FOR SAMSUNG SMARTPHONES
There are
also improvements for numerous smartphones from Samsung . The South Korean electronics company has released the July Android patch for downloading many other mobile phone models. For example for the Samsung Galaxy S21 , the Galaxy Note 9 or the Galaxy Xcover Pro . But also for many other A-series models such as the Galaxy A52 5G , Galaxy A70 , Galaxy A71 and Galaxy A80 as well as for the Galaxy A12 , Galaxy A41 , Galaxy A50 and Galaxy A51. The July patch is now also available for the foldable model Galaxy Z Fold 2 and for the somewhat outdated Galaxy A9 (2018).
Samsung even goes one step further with the Galaxy A52 . Although August has not yet dawned, the August patch for Android is already available for this first smartphone model. Many other Samsung smartphones should also be provided with a corresponding update in a few days. We will keep you up to date on this.
And if you are a user of the Samsung Galaxy A52 or the Galaxy A72 , you should not only check whether you can install an update in terms of security . Samsung has also rolled out an update for these two smartphones that is supposed to improve the performance of the camera. It’s worth updating.
HUAWEI ADDS MAY PATCHES
So while Samsung is already distributing the August patch for Android, Huawei is lagging a little behind in terms of smartphone updates. The May patch for Android is now available for the Huawei Mate Xs , the Huawei P40 Lite and the Huawei Mate 20 Lite . The Huawei Nova 5T can now also be raised to the patch level of June 2021. For many other Huawei smartphones, the corresponding June patch should follow shortly.
ANDROID 11 UPDATES FOR OTHER SMARTPHONES
And then there are three more smartphones that can now be updated to Android 11. In addition to the OnePlus Nord N10 5G mentioned above , this also applies to the Nokia 1.3. In addition, all users of the Asus ROG Phone 3 gaming smartphone can look forward to the Android 11 upgrade that is now starting. Likewise, all those who use the Xiaomi Mi 9 . Incidentally, Xiaomi has also published more detailed information on how long there will be updates for the currently available cell phone models .
Important: All of the Android updates mentioned here are rolling out in waves by the manufacturers mentioned. The new firmwares are therefore not available around the world at the same time, but staggered in time. If you are not yet able to install an update for your mobile phone, it is best to be patient for a few more days, before the appropriate notification about the smartphone update appears on your screen. Or check manually in the settings of your smartphone whether you can already install a new update.
