That’s not all as the update will be available to a number of smartphones including the qualifying Android One phones.

The Android 7.1.2 brings refinement over existing Android 7.1.1 which was also an intermediate release. The latter is already available for Nexus and Pixel devices. It will also include several bug fixes as reported by users running the Android 7.1.1 software version.
