Google fixed a critical security flaw for Pixels, but other Android phones were left hanging


What you need to know

  • Google patched a serious security issue for Pixel devices with the release of the June Pixel Feature Drop last week.
  • Though the flaw affects more Android devices, non-Pixel devices will have to wait for Android 15.
  • This decision leaves Android devices vulnerable to an actively-exploited flaw for months.

Last week, Google finally addressed a critical security flaw that researchers and security advocates have been raising awareness of since April. The problem? Google included the fix in the June Pixel Feature Drop, and other Android phones aren’t able to receive the update. BleepingComputer first reported the patch, and the team at GrapheneOS — who first reported the vulnerability — confirmed that non-Pixel devices will need to wait for Android 15 to get a fix.

Google patched 50 security vulnerabilities in the Android 14 QPR3 update for Pixels. However, one stands out because it is a zero-day vulnerability. This means that the flaw was actively exploited in the wild before Google became aware of it. Zero-day security vulnerabilities are the most severe, and thus, Google recommends that all Pixel users apply the June update as soon as possible.
