      Previously, the device got a new security update back in mid-October, that brought in the October patch along with some enhancements. Though the update was meant to bring stability improvements, it allegedly carried lots of bugs with it.

      Users reported issues like boot loop and bricking of the device with the installation of the update. Check out the user reports below on XDA:
