Hi everyone Aaron here for Zollotech and the android 11 july 2021 security update is now
rolling out to all supported devices and this came in at a fairly small 7 to 20 megabytes depending
on who you ask but you can see my device is up to date you'll see it says july 5th
2021. it came out a little bit later this time around than it normally does
but we have the update now now as far as the supported devices this is covered with the
pixel 3 and newer so pixel 3, 3xl, 3a, 3a xl, pixel 4, pixel 4 xl, pixel 4a, pixel 4a 5g,
and pixel 5. all of those are supported now other people are reporting that their samsung devices
are getting the update as well the samsung a31 for example the note 9 and later it's up to your
manufacturer to push that out but it could be coming to android one devices oneplus and
others as they decide to push that out with those security updates intact now as far as what's new
in this particular update let's take a look at the build number and as you can see it says 11
rq3a.210705.001 this particular update brings quite a number of security features but there's
a couple fixes as well and also in june they released the android pixel feature drop so i'll
cover that in just a moment now as far as the things that are fixed from the pixel 3 all the
way to the pixel 5 they fix some connectivity issues what it does is it enables voice over
lte support on certain networks now what those networks are they didn't say but if your network
maybe verizon for example supports voice over lte or volte depending on what you want to call it it
will work now on those devices so they've added support for that they've also fixed the framework
of android 11 on pixel devices to prevent continued device reboots under certain conditions
so there was a condition causing your device to reboot in a reboot loop that's been fixed on pixel
3 all the way to the pixel 5. every device is covered here as far as improvements and fixes that
is everything in this particular update however there was a june feature drop so i want to go over
that and then i'll cover security in a moment and the june feature drop was pretty significant if
you like photography or you want to manage your photos so if you go into the camera for example
and in the camera maybe we'll take a picture of this pixel 5. and you'll see in the upper right
we have an option tap on that and we can now send it to a locked folder so it says storage spaced
using device screen lock so we'll tap on this and it says go to google photos set up a locked photo
so move to locked photo it says hide your items from a photo grid search and apps that access
your device photos open with your device screen lock and items won't be backed up or shared
so we can set that up and because this is a pixel 4 xl it's going to use my face to unlock it we'll
hit confirm and we'll go to the locked folder so again it's going to ask us to go into it
and since there's nothing here yet it doesn't show anything but now if we go back we'll go well
we'll go back to camera snap a picture and we'll move that to the locked folder and now it's in the
locked folder so it gives you an idea again every time it's going to ask you to confirm you want to
go into that folder and it says media not found but that gives you an idea of how it works you
have that lock in the upper right or you can just send it to your photo gallery if you'd like now
we can go into that photo library in our photos and see all of our locked photos so that's a nice
little addition that they've added with that pixel feature drop they've also added time lapse video
for night sight so if you use night sight for example and you want to use it with your video
camera you can do that now in a time lapse so you have that option in a dark environment and
you'll see that we have the timer here as well in our options so we can switch to that and then
you've got your different focus options and more but you can now do this for up to four minutes
with a night sight time lapse so that's available on pixel 4 and newer now another feature that's
really great is for accessibility as well and that allows you to answer calls or deny calls with your
voice maybe a phone call is coming in and you want to pick that up you don't have the option either
to get to your phone or you're unable to touch it at this time you can just use hey and then
the keyword and then tell google to actually not answer the call or say answer the call and it will
pick it up or hang it up so you have that option now also the call screening function is available
in japan and not just the us and canada now so if you're using your phone you're getting a call
and you want to screen that call using the pixel feature where it can answer the phone call for you
you now have that option in japan now if we go into safety we've had car crash detection
in some countries for a while such as the us uk and australia but they've updated this to support
spain ireland and singapore now on supported devices so those countries are now allowed to use
car crash detection there may be some government involvement there and that might be why it's not
available everywhere so it's available in all of those countries now and then finally there's a new
section or some additions to a section in styles and wallpaper and if you go into wallpaper and
you tap on curated culture it's been updated for pride month in june so they've left these
wallpapers there and they'll continue to add to it as there's different months for different cultural
events for example so it's great to see them continue to update wallpaper and add more and more
and so as far as features and things those were the june feature drop updates but there's a bunch
of security updates as well so as you can see here on the left we have three framework updates
two media framework updates 17 system updates three google play system updates five kernel
updates one pixel launcher update one mediatek components update one widevine drm update which is
very important security wise 14 qualcomm component updates and seven qualcomm closed source component
updates so all of those have been updated within this security update so i definitely recommend
you install this if you haven't already for the security updates alone but then you'll get that
extra connectivity framework and of course you'll have the you probably already have many of those
feature updates but if you didn't know about them hopefully they're useful to you now and
they're available if you have a pixel device and so overall the speed has been fine i don't think
this is going to affect performance at all in this device so it seems to be nice and fast and battery
life as well i don't expect any changes there as this was mostly a minor security update with a few
fixes or additions with the voice over lte support on certain networks so that's everything new in
this particular update i've also been covering the android betas the android 12 betas that i actually
have on the pixel 5. it's hard to tell unless you pull down from the top but it is on this device
and i'll continue to cover those if you want me to in the let me know in the comments below
if you'd like to get your hands on this wallpaper of course i'll link it in the description like
i normally do and if you haven't subscribed already please subscribe and if you enjoyed
