January 2018 security patches for Nexus and Pixel have arrived
DIY-ers can do it today, OTA files expected shortly.
January 2018’s security patch is available for supported Nexus and Pixel devices. Factory images for the Pixel and Pixel 2 family, the Pixel C, the Nexus 6P, and Nexus 5X are available at the Google Developer site and can be manually installed today, and OTA updates are expected to begin shortly.
There were no major vulnerabilities addressed in this month’s patch, but as usual, all the little things mean a lot and it’s recommended that everyone with an eligible device accept any OTA update.
