Xiaomi Mi A1 Android 8.1 Oreo update rolls out w/ the July security patches

The Mi A1 is an ideal device for people who are not too fond of the metric ton of bloatware that MIUI comes with it. Since it is an Android One device, updates are expected to be quicker too, but that hasn't been the case with the Mi A1. The device has had its share of hiccups, with it's Oreo update being put on hold multiple times. Today, some users state that they're receiving the Android Oreo 8.1 update along with the July security patch. The rollout appears to be incremental, so it might be a while before you receive it.

Galaxy S8 update brings July security patch and camera improvements

Samsung rolled out the July security update for the Galaxy S8 in Brazil today. The update bumps up the device's security patch to July 2018 and also brings in some camera and Bluetooth improvements.

Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 edge get June 2018 security update

The Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge might be old, but Samsung hasn't forgotten about them (for the most part). The fact that they still update despite not being listed on Samsung's official update schedule indicates that Samsung still cares for the nearly three-year-old flagships. The update has been rolled out in the Netherlands, Greece, Poland, Bulgaria, Romania, Switzerland and a few other countries. The update brings with it build number G920FXXU6ERF5 and G925FXXU6ERF5 for the Galaxy S6 and S6 edge respectively. There's nothing new regarding features as it is only a security patch.
