If you have a Samsung device, you probably have to catch up. Because in the last few months, quite a few updates have been released. Both security and operating system. And this is important: they bring improvements to devices and protect users against new threats.
The latest update that has been released is the one corresponding to the N920GUBS4CRG1 security package for the Samsung Galaxy Note 5. Although this is an old device, the team has received the July security patch. The update has been arriving in different countries, so if you have this equipment in your pocket, you must be prepared for an imminent launch.
But if you have any other device, more of the same. The updates are underway and have been rolling out in recent weeks, so today we wanted to summarize here which are the most recent.
Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 edge
It has been launched in different markets: it is the July security update for the Samsung Galaxy S7. The first to receive it have been European users, both for the S7 model and for the S7 edge. It is also the first update received by the owners of this device after having switched to Android 8 Oreo. This package has the code G930FXXU2ERG2, so if you have a Samsung Galaxy S7 or S7 edge, you can get to work.
It should be noted, on the other hand, that the update corresponding to Android 8 Oreo has already reached practically all the users in the world who have a Samsung Galaxy S7 or S7 edge in their pocket.
Samsung Galaxy S9 and S9 +
The July security patch has also recently made its way to the brand new Samsung Galaxy S9 and S9 +. They are those corresponding to these codes: G960FXXU2BRG6 and G965FXXU2BRG6. The update brings with it various security improvements, as well as corrections in the stability of the equipment and new options for the camera system. There are fixes for critical bugs, so it is a good idea to start the update as soon as possible. It weighs about 250 MB.
Samsung Galaxy J8 and Galaxy Grand Prime Plus
They are devices with a much more discreet technical sheet than the pioneers, but the truth is that they also deserve their corresponding security update. The most recent they have received is the one from July and it has arrived for the Samsung Galaxy J8 and Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime Plus.
Samsung Galaxy Note 8
It is one of the most important devices that Samsung has in its catalog today, so the July security update could not wait too long. This was launched just a week ago, under the code N950FXXS4CRG1. It brings with it various security patches, as well as stability and performance improvements. There is no more news on the horizon.
Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8 +
Until recently it has been the flagship of the house, so the update has also been rolled out for it. In fact, both the Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8 + have received the following packages a few days ago, G950FXXS3CRG1 and G955FXXS3CRG1, respectively. They can be downloaded in the usual way, after having received the notice from Samsung, or by accessing the Settings> Software update section.
Samsung Galaxy A7 2017
It is part of the mid-range of the Samsung catalog, but it is also worthy of the security updates that are arriving. The Samsung Galaxy A7 2017 has received in recent weeks the July security patch, which corresponds to the code A720FXXU3CRF3. In this case, it is not possible to talk about new features, because the update brings with it only the mandatory corrections of this security package.
Samsung Galaxy J6
Although it is part of the most basic range of the Samsung catalog, the Samsung Galaxy J6 is also worthy of a security update. It is also the one corresponding to July, so if you have this device, you should start the installation of the data package shortly. In case you are a little confused, we will tell you that the upgrade package for this model is the J600FNXXU1ARG2.
Samsung Galaxy J2 Pro
But the J6 isn't the only one that deserves a security update. The Samsung Galaxy J2 Pro is even a bit simpler than the old one, but it also gets the July package. Users who have this device could have received in the last days a warning to install the update with the code J250FXWU2ARF3.
Samsung Galaxy A8 2018
This has been one of the last devices that Android 8 Oreo has received. In fact, in recent weeks both the Samsung Galaxy A8 2018 and the Samsung Galaxy A8 + 2018 have had the opportunity to embrace Android 8, teams that until now have run on Android 7 Nougat. This is a heavy update, and a very important one, because it brings considerable changes in the operation and design of Android.
Samsung Galaxy S6 and Samsung Galaxy S6 edge
They are over three years old, but the truth is that Samsung continues to provide security updates quite often. The last one these users have received is the one corresponding to the month of June, which has been deployed in different European countries. If you have a Samsung Galaxy S6 or Samsung Galaxy S6 edge you can install these versions, respectively, G920FXXU6ERF5 and G925FXXU6ERF5.
How to install these updates
Too easy. What you will receive on your device will be an update notice, from there we recommend that you start it as soon as possible. You must bear in mind, of course, that to start you must take into account the following:
- Your Samsung Galaxy has to be well charged. Make sure the battery is at least 50% full to avoid unexpected blackouts.
- You have to be connected to a WiFi network that can provide you stability. In this way you can download the packages without spending data.
- Make a backup of all your most important content and settings. It doesn't hurt to have everything insured.
If you have not received any notice to update, you can also access the Settings> Software update section to check if there is a package ready to be installed.
