Samsung pushes out September security patch for the Galaxy S6 edge+

Firmware
By 

Last updated: September 29th, 2016 at 21:17 UTC+02:00

Samsung has been awfully busy today. Not only has it distributed the Marshmallow update for the Galaxy A7 and Galaxy Tab S 10.5 (Wi-Fi), but it's also now pushing out this month's security patch for the International variant of the Galaxy S6 edge+.

The upgrade is around 160MB in size and, just like the version that made its way to the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 edge earlier this week, carries a truckload of much-needed patches for both the Android OS and the device to make it more stable and secure.

As we’ve come to expect from all major and minor firmware updates, the OTA is being pushed out in stages. However, if you’d like to see if it’s ready for your device simply follow these steps: Settings » About Device » Software Update » Update Now.
