Nexus 4, 5, 6, 7 (2013), and 9 appear set to get updates starting today

One month after Google committed to pushing out monthly security updates for Nexus devices, it looks like the program is starting to get rolling full steam.

T-Mobile has updated its support pages for the Nexus 4, Nexus 5, Nexus 6, Nexus 7 (2013), and Nexus 9 to show that all 5 devices are getting software updates today, September 8. The Nexus 4, 5, 7, and 9 are all getting bumped to build LMY48M, while the Nexus 6 is moving to LYZ28K, which is specific to Nexus 6 phones running on T-Mo.

As for what’s included in these updates, T-Mobile says that they’ve got “Android security updates” as well as “minor bug fixes.” All of the updates are relatively small, ranging from 7.6MB for the Nexus 4 up to 28.9MB for the Nexus 6.

Security updates and bug fixes may not be super sexy, but they help to keep your phone safe and running smoothly, so it’s important that you install them. If you’ve got a Nexus 4, 5, 6, 7 (2013), or 9, you can check for these updates by going into Settings > About device > Software update.
