The problem was brought about by a buggy update to the Android System WebView app. The update was rolled out a couple of days back and affected a…

Guaranteed monthly security updates and software upgrades is not something we are used to hearing when it comes to Android. Yes, some manufacturers have been supporting their devices software-wise but this was mostly for their flagship devices. For the mid and entry level devices, it was never guaranteed and in most cases they never got updated. When HMD Global came into the market with Nokia smartphones, the company was keen to change this and promised at least 2 major software upgrades and monthly security update for all devices for about three years. This was unheard of before and is one…
