These Android smartphones got a (security) update

Android manufacturers roll out security updates year-round, but not all devices. That's why we regularly list the smartphones that have been updated.

The Android security update overview of week 38

On Android Planet we regularly pay attention to updates that receive devices. Often these are new Android versions, for example when phones are updated to  Android 9.0 (Pie) . For that we also have the  Android 8.0 update overview and Android 9.0 update overview , where you can see exactly when and when your phone receives an update.

But manufacturers also issue security updates throughout the year, and they are often just as important. Although they do not contain any major new features, you remain protected against all (critical) vulnerabilities that appear monthly. Every week we therefore list which devices have received an update in the past seven days, so that you are always up-to-date.
