Nokia 6.1 & Nokia 6.1 Plus & Nokia 7.1 March security update changelog:

All three smartphones are receiving only the March 2021 Android security patch with the update. Here is what the March security update addresses as mentioned by Google on its official Security bulletin page.

The most severe of these issues is a critical security vulnerability in the System component that could enable a remote attacker using a specially crafted transmission to execute arbitrary code within the context of a privileged process. The severity assessment is based on the effect that exploiting the vulnerability would possibly have on an affected device, assuming the platform and service mitigations are turned off for development purposes or if successfully bypassed.

As expected Nokia users are much more interested in release of Android 11 update to their smartphone. The OS update has been released for Nokia 3.2 yesterday. You can track Android 11 update roll-out to Nokia smartphones by clicking here.
