Google started focusing on providing regular security patches to Android devices ever since the Stagefright bug was discovered. Even Samsung promised that it would roll out monthly security patches to its smartphones. However, we've noticed that Samsung isn't fulfilling its promise.
The South Korean smartphone giant has been releasing monthly security patches only in a few markets. In other markets, the security patches are either not being rolled out until the end of the month or not being rolled out at all. Oddly, the company is rolling out regular security patches only to mid-range devices in some markets like India, but not to the high-end ones.
