Nexus 6P latest device to receive performance update

Thomas Wellburn

March 10, 2016

Following the release of a Nexus 5X update just a couple of days ago, Google has pushed out a similar one for the 6P today.

The patch is billed as a performance enhancing one and mainly targets the RAM bottle-necking issues which some users have been facing, plus general speed enhancing fixes. This includes a kernel clock increase from 100 to 300 MHz, which should theoretically improve speeds (providing it’s not set so high that the scheduler can’t execute tasks in time!).

Still, TL;DR. Performance will be better this time round and those pesky memory management issues should be sorted. This new update takes the build number to MHC19I.

You can download the update via the link here.
