After the security breach announcement found last week on Android, Google decided to change its policy regarding cell phones Nexus. From now on they will always receive a monthly security update, making them even more reliable for users.
The company claims that every month she warns all Android handset makers to new developments that can help improve system security. As Google itself only has “authority” to execute the changes directly on the Nexus line, these will be the privileged devices, although nothing prevents the different manufacturers also update their devices.
According to Google , all appliances from the Nexus 4 will receive the updates, and the first that fixes the flaw announced last week, is already in the air to all users. The idea is that each line of Nexus device receives at least three years of monthly updates on the system.
The Samsung announced then that will follow the model of the Nexus line and do the same thing with all appliances manufactured by her, keeping the same periodicity of Google. . The only information not yet confirmed is when the Korean company is expected to launch its first update
Koh Kin Dong, executive vice president and head of research and development at Samsung, commented on the issue:
“With the recent security problems, we are rethinking the approach for security updates to our devices in a more timely fashion. As the software is constantly explored in new ways, the development of a process for rapid response to security patches for delivering our devices is critical to keep them safe. We believe that this new process will greatly enhance the safety of our devices and will aim to provide the best possible mobile experience for our users. “
