Nokia XR21 and G21 receive September patch

HMD Global has begun rolling out the September 2024 Google Security Patch for its Nokia XR21 and Nokia G21 which are among the latest to receive it.

The photos show that the Nokia XR21 is receiving an update package weighing 96.70 MB, while the Nokia G21’s update is a smaller 21.55 MB. Despite the difference in size, the main focus is on improving system security, as these monthly patches primarily address vulnerabilities identified in the Android ecosystem.

The September 2024 Android security patch was released on September 5, 2024 and it includes fixes for various vulnerabilities.

Both updates come with the usual advisory notices, reminding users to download the update over Wi-Fi whenever possible to avoid additional data charges when using a mobile network, especially when roaming.

If you haven’t received the update notification yet, report it back. Also, please do share if you have received a September patch for other Nokia devices.

Cheers Branko and others for the tip 😉
