hi everyone Aaron here for ZolloTech and today the May 2020 android security
update was released for all supported devices so that includes everything from
the pixel 2 & 2 XL all the way up to the pixel 4 & 4 XL and maybe future versions
as well such as the pixel for a and for a XL when those come out now if you have
a Samsung device Samsung has been pretty good at pushing these updates out it may
be out at the same time you're watching this maybe a few days later but in the
past they've been a day before sometimes they're a day after but it's up to your
manufacturer to push that out so if you have a different manufacturer phone
you'll have to wait for them to actually push that to your device now this came
in at a couple of gigabytes if you had to sideload it or it could be as low as
20 megabytes if you had to install it through over-the-air I wasn't able to
install it over-the-air right away that's because it it rolls out gradually
to all of these devices but you can see I have it installed now it's a security
patch level May 5th 2020 and so let's take a look at the
build number and the build number on this one is QQ 2 a two zero zero five
zero one dot zero zero one dot B two and this particular update is all about the
security patches so there's not a whole lot of features in fact expect a feature
drop maybe at the beginning of June we saw one around March but there aren't
any really big features in this particular update but there are a couple
things to know the first thing is Google mentioned how it's going to implement
contact tracing into Android devices and they're going to roll that out through
Google Play services so expect an update with Google Play services at some point
where it's integrated into the OS directly and then you'll be able to have
options to turn it on and off and see what sort of tracking notifications
there are and things like that so if that's something that you would like on
you'll have that option and that will work along with Apple where Apple and
Google have actually worked together with all of this
so we've seen that in recent versions of iOS 13.5 betas where the work with
tracking and the work directly with Bluetooth to Android phones as well so
they'll be able to communicate with the unique identifiers that are anonymous
now again you should be able to turn that off if you'd like now as far as
anything that's new like I said it's purity patches so don't expect anything
really exciting with this update but as far as security updates well there's
quite a few that should patch some issues this head so for example there
are three framework security updates for media framework security updates eight
system updates five kernel component updates for media tech component updates
ten Qualcomm component and then twelve Qualcomm close source security
components now if you have a pixel device that is the amount of components
you'll have installed if you have another Android device that doesn't
pertain to pixel there may be a few less but basically you'll have all of those
now like I said this is a security update so there isn't really anything
physically to see so expect things like battery to be the same as it was with
the April security update as well as speed and launching of apps and things
like that everything should be fluid and fast just
like it's always been on a pixel for and for excel and if you have it for a
Samsung device I'd love to hear from you in the comments below as I'm not exactly
sure when they roll out as those are sort of staggered for different people
so let me know the device you have and if you've received this update yet
whether it be a pixel device or a samsung device or another manufacturer
as well and so that's it for the May 2020 and roids security update let me
know if you've found anything else though in the comments below and of
course I'll link this wallpaper in the description as I always do if you
