After Nokia 2, Nokia 3 and Nokia 8, HMD has started pushing February Security update 2018 to Nokia 6 in some markets. The update comes as only the security patch to TA-1021 variant in India while it comes with a new Android Oreo build to the Nokia 6 TA-1033 variant.
The February Security update brings a fix for a critical security vulnerability in Media framework that could enable a remote attacker using a specially crafted file to execute arbitrary code.
List of markets where it is available:
- In India TA-1021 and TA-1033
- In Bangladesh TA-1021
Update size:
As you can see in the screenshots below the February security update for Nokia 6 TA-1021 is around 171.4 MB in size. For Nokia 6 TA-1033 it is 1760 MB in size with the new Oreo build.
You will either be prompted to download this update or you can check by going to Settings and searching system updates and then by checking for the update.
Nokia 6 February Security update changelog:
The changelog for the February update for Nokia 6 TA-1021 mentions only the February Security update. Changelog for Nokia 6 TA-1033 mentions Oreo build v5.22A along with the security update, which only adds “A” over the original stable Oreo build v5.22. This means very minor changes over the original Oreo build.
The most severe of these issues is a critical security vulnerability in Media framework that could enable a remote attacker using a specially crafted file to execute arbitrary code within the context of a privileged process. The severity assessment is based on the effect that exploiting the vulnerability would possibly have on an affected device, assuming the platform and service mitigations are turned off for development purposes or if successfully bypassed.
We have had no reports of active customer exploitation or abuse of these newly reported issues. Refer to the Android and Google Play Protect mitigations section for details on the Android security platform protections and Google Play Protect, which improve the security of the Android platform.
HMD has been quite consistent in terms of releasing Monthly Security updates and OS updates for Nokia smartphones already available in the market. HMD has also made it clear that all Nokia Android Phones will receive minimum two years of OS update support.
HMD promised a sooner Android Oreo update roll-out to Nokia 6 2017 in China when it began the Oreo update roll out to Nokia 7 and Nokia 6 2018. The good news is that the Android Oreo update is now available for Nokia 6 2017 (TA-1000, TA-1003) & TA-1021 (Bangladesh)
The Android Oreo Beta update for Nokia 6 2017 (TA-1000 & TA-1003) is 1587 MB in size. Whereas TA-1021 is 1659 MB You can just check for the update by going to Settings–>System–>About Phone–>System update.
Android Oreo is a significant update that brings a number of improvements in the Android user experience. It brings many new features such as picture-in-picture, autofill, integrated Instant Apps, Google Play Protect, faster boot time, and much more. There may be some China-specific customization too. But the Good news is Dolby Atmos Settings is Back.
HMD has made Android Oreo Beta available for Nokia 6 in other markets and will release the stable update soon. China is not eligible to get Beta updates and get the stable Oreo update directly.
