Here’s how you can Update Nexus 6 to Android 7.1.1 N8I11F Update. Nexus devices are the best when it comes to official updates since they are the first ones to receive them before any other device and they receive the latest updates without any bugs and issues, even if there are some, another small update will remove them. While all the other devices are still in the line to receive them, even some old flagships are not in the list to receive them, Nexus users are enjoying the latest updates either in the official form or via a Custom ROM.

This new update is rolled out around 5 days ago and it seems like it’s just a security patch.

However, the goods news is that this update is rolled out for T-Mobile users to help fix carrier requirement or bug.
