Google put the batteries safely Want to follow other manufacturers?

Update (July 6) | LG also joined the group of manufacturers that offer monthly security updates information below, or by clicking on this link.

Yesterday we heard that Google will provide an update to correct any breach of security related to Nexus Stagefright. It is a feat discovered that affects 95% of Android devices, a serious security vulnerability that requires a small patch to fix, something easy if there were no Android updates are so slow.

Google can fix a problem, but then to reach the majority of users can take months. To avoid this, Google was responsible for the distribution of images for Nexus Factory also promises new periodic updates each month. We love the batteries with an important safety issue get, but we fear that other manufacturers do not follow.

Security updates each month for Nexus

We have one more argument to buy a Nexus updates faster. We know that sometimes we can with the updates if Android Nexus, as if the images of the plant, if M Android, etc ... but it is precisely the Google appliances major developments come after the rest of Androids.

To date, one year we had a big update, while every six months or if we have a smaller version with minor developments. Do not be surprised if Google takes the security pretext to unravel the XX1 versions XX2, etc.

Android security, a key factor Google

Why is it important for the security of Google Android? First and most obvious that users feel comfortable and not have problems with your device. After it's all about branding.

Apple has always boasted of having a closed and safe market with updates that arrive almost instantly to all users. Android is much more complex because of its open source nature and compatible with thousands of different devices, but also concerned about safety.

In fact, Google has a version of Android called Android ultracifrada for work created exclusively for business. It is at this point that any breach of security is deprecated because if a user needs to be 100% protected, a multinational needs 120%.

What manufacturers and devices offer the same 

security?

And now the big question. Manufacturers will keep up? Is this something that Google has updated if manufacturers continue to struggle to handle this? Always blaming the other manufacturers that do not update, but it's really a problem of communication between them and Google. Vu is that if you keep a close relationship with Motorola, the pace of updates develops.

On the issue of security is something similar, but instead of new versions of Android have new security patches. Samsung and Alcatel have announced they will update their models, which ones? in the case of the full range of South Korean Galaxy.

Hopefully the manufacturers follow the footsteps of Google and Samsung and point users to quickly distribute this security patch. They now give serious image which is responsible for the safety and secondly to reduce ties with Google, whose task before stimulate the rate of renewal.

Manufacturers must be aware of the security measures Google, the search engine should facilitate this communication and establish channels to arrive earlier. This is not to control everything like the game of Google services or the Apple style. Android is a free, open and community with many players understand that everyone wants their piece of the pie, but it is important to understand that if we are all to the security of the operating system will grow, improve and users will be more secure, happy and wanting to spend the money quietly.

Do you think we will see more security breaches than Stagefright in the future? Are the safest Nexus Android devices? Will we see changes in the coming months?

LG will also send monthly security updates

Samsung is not the only Korean brand to join this measure: LG, in the words of a spokesman for Wired, announced that it will also send monthly security updates that operators can start immediately. Thus, they say take important steps to demonstrate that safety is the top priority of the company.

Seeing that these three big names have decided to take this step, I can only wish that this kind of domino effect continues and more and more brands to join this initiative to update the earlier security breaches. Hopefully, between all they can to make Android a more secure operating system.
