#GalaxyS7 #GalaxyS7Edge – Samsung Galaxy S7 And S7 Edge Start Getting September Android Security Patch In Europe: Samsung Cloud Included : The unlocked versions of the Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 edge have started getting the latest Android security patch, as the September update is rolling out now.

Monthly security patches are designed to ensure that Android devices stay up to date and protected against potentially harmful software that could compromise their security. Google decided to release monthly patches after the Stagefright fiasco, which threatened millions of Android devices.

It’s not just up to Google, however, to keep the devices up to date. Unlike iOS devices that are made solely by Apple, Android devices are made by various manufacturers, which have to distribute the updates to their devices.

Samsung seems to be making efforts toward keeping its devices updated, and the latest September security patch is now reaching the Galaxy S7 and S7 edge.

The firmware version is XXU1BPHJ and is rolling out in Europe, boosting security and bundling the enhanced Gallery app found on the Galaxy Note 7.

The September security update also adds support for Samsung Cloud, another neat feature that made its debut on the Galaxy Note 7.

As Samsung-centric publication SamMobile points out, this is the first time that Samsung rolls out a Security Maintenance Release (SMR) without posting full changelog details on its blog.
