Google's former flagship Nexus phone has just received its Android version 7.1.1 update earlier this yet but it was met with software bugs and even broke Android Pay for some. Nexus 6 users are currently receiving an over-the-air downgrade back to Android 7.0. A Google community manager has responded on Reddit to explain what is happening: There was a recent OTA update for Android 7.0 that is causing confusion for some Nexus 6 users. For any Nexus 6 users that want to continue flashing/sideloading future builds, you can stay on 7.1.1 and continue to do so. Seems like the Nexus 6 and its users are up for a bumpy software adventure. An update is also being prepared for the Nexus 6P. The final release of Android 7.1.2 is expected to launch in a couple of months for Pixel, Pixel XL, Nexus 5X, Nexus 6P, Nexus Player, and Pixel C devices. The company also announced the first batch of Nexus devices getting it.
