Nexus 6 is finally getting Android 7.1.1

After much delay Google rolled out Android 7.1.1 Nougat to Nexus 6 earlier this year.  However, the Pixel maker halted the update due to bug issues, and rolled out a fresh update that downgraded, the Nexus 6's software to Android 7.0.

Now Google is finally pushing Android 7.1.1 build to Nexus 6. The update weighs around 370MB and includes the latest security patches, and should fix all the bugs reported by users.

In order to get stable Android 7.1.1, your Nexus 6 must be on Android 7.0 build, and if you happen to be on the previous version of Android 7.1.1 (pulled by Google),  you need to flash back to the main update track.

To recap, Android 7.1.1 Nougat will bring new emojis, circular icons, GIF Keyboard support and app shortcuts to Nexus 6.

It's worth mentioning that Android 7.1.1 will be the last major software update Nexus 6 will receive, and there's no Android O, since the phone is reaching its end of life status. However, it will continue to receive security updates.
