We’re only one week into March, and that means a monthly security update is due for Android devices. Google published details regarding March’s security update earlier today with a massive list of patches and other goodies.

This security update is rolling out to the following devices:

  • Nexus 5 (MMB29V)
  • Nexus 5X (MMB29V, MHC19J)
  • Nexus 6 (MMB29V)
  • Nexus 6P (MMB29Q)
  • Nexus 7 2013 (MMB29V)
  • Nexus 9 (MMB29V)
  • Nexus 10 (LMY49H)
  • Pixel C (MXC14G)
  • Nexus Player (MMB29V)

With the exception of the Nexus 10 remaining on Android 5.1.1 Lollipop, all of the devices listed above are on Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow.

Don’t want to wait for Google to push a software update to your device? Then do things manually. Get the factory images from Google and follow these instructions provided by our Brad Ward. The over-the-air update should be rolling out in the coming days and weeks. Even later, owners of non-Nexus devices should expect to see March’s security update arrive.
