Nexus 6 and Nexus 9 won't get Android 7.1.2

It turns out that the Motorola Nexus 6 and HTC Nexus 9 are getting the cold shoulder on the Android 7.1.2 update. That was confirmed to DroidLife by a Google employee.

Android 7.1.2 is the next planned update and will be out in a few months with some optimizations and bug fixes. Since both the Nexus 9 and Nexus 6 are past their updates-guaranteed timeframe (2 years) it's no surprise to see them left out.

On a positive note Google will continue to bring the must-have security patches to both devices for at least another year. That's good news for people reluctant to let go of their older Nexus devices.
