![]() Since then we’ve seen the rise of the Google Pixel line, which took all of the principles of the Nexus program and then added a layer of polish and poise that just couldn’t be shook from the Nexus devices. It’s hard to believe that it has been three years since both were introduced in September 2015. The Huawei-made Nexus 6P and LG-made Nexus 5X were the finest devices produced during the Nexus program. ![]() Of course, that doesn’t mean Google can’t push another update, it’s just not promised that the company will do so. However, for a full year after, Google has been obligated to push security updates to these devices, and that obligation ended following this week’s November security patch. While all generations of Google’s Pixel lineup have gotten updates to Android Pie, the Nexus 6P and Nexus 5X saw their final major platform updates with Android 8.1 Oreo. OTA download links and further information on what this patch fixes can be found here. Alas, both devices are still officially running Android 8.1 Oreo to just dash your hopes of official Pie support. The update means that both the Nexus 6P and 5X can be updated to build number OPM7.181205.001. ![]() Update 12/03: Somewhat surprisingly, the Nexus 6P and Nexus 5X have received another security update even despite meeting the three-year deadline of required fixes from Google last month. That means that build number OPM7.181105.004 will be the final official build on both the Nexus 6P and the Nexus 5X and signals the true death of the Nexus line. As part of Google’s three-year update plan, the last Nexus devices have now received the final guaranteed OTA update. ![]()
