In a surprising turn of events, the Samsung Galaxy S8+ received the July security patch for Android earlier than usual. Carriers in the US have been notorious for delaying critical security updates for months on end. The carrier-unlocked version of the Galaxy S9 and S9 Plus had it worse, having to wait for three months before it saw a security patch. The latest security patch is now available for Galaxy S8 owners on Verizon in the US. The software version of the device is getting a bump to SQS5CRF5 with the latest update. The update has no new features and is primarily meant to patch the latest security vulnerabilities in the device. A similar update for the S8+ is also expected soon. You should be able to download it from the Settings » Software update menu on your phone.

Following the footsteps of other mid-range Samsung devices, the Galaxy A7 (2017) is all set to receive the July security patch. Samsung has now released the July security patch to the Galaxy A7 (2017) in Iraq, Tunisia, Turkey, Algeria, and other regions are expected to follow suit soon. The new update doesn’t bring any features to the Galaxy A7 (2017) and is focused solely on improving the security and stability of the device.
