The January Security Patch is Now Out

Google has just started rolling out this year's first security patch to all its Pixel devices and some of its Nexus devices. Apparently, the patch for this month has two levels; namely the January 1 patches and the January 5 patches. The January 1 patch addresses 20 bugs and vulnerabilities, while the January 5 patch adds 18 more to it. There are some fixes here which have been marked as critical, but fortunately, there have been no reports to indicate that these bugs/vulnerabilities have yet been exploited on any Android smartphone.

In case you are wondering when Samsung will be releasing these patches for their smartphones, I don't think that's going to be any time before the third week of January and that's if we are lucky! Nevertheless, the December patch for most devices has already been rolled out by the company, which should be enough for now.

Head over to our firmware section to find all the latest available updates for your Samsung smartphones and tablets.
