December 2020 security fixes roll out for Pixel phones with latest Pixel Feature Drop

Another month is in the books, so it’s about time for the latest batch of Android security fixes. Google has published the Android Security Bulletin for the month of December and is also rolling out the update to the Pixel 5, Pixel 4a 5G, Pixel 4a, Pixel 4, Pixel 4 XL, Pixel 3a, Pixel 3a XL, Pixel 3, and the Pixel 3 XL.

This month’s Android security fixes includes the usual bevy of fixes along with some specific fixes for Pixel devices. In fact, there’s something for every Pixel from the Pixel 3 all the way up to the Pixel 5. The Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL, unfortunately, have not gotten any of the fixes as per the company’s original calendar commitment. Check out the chart below to see what fixes are in tow for your Pixel smartphone.

The latest security fixes for December 2020 come in a new Pixel feature drop, which includes new adaptive features, Google Photos suggestions, and what Google describes as “content-aware battery features.”
