The pace of updates from manufacturers never ceases to amaze us, because sometimes news like the one we are dealing with now appears. Samsung, the current leader in the mobile phone market, has just launched an update for two of their most popular phones. But they are not popular now, they were years ago, because that’s when they were sold.
We speak, to the surprise of many, of the Samsung Galaxy S8 and Samsung Galaxy S7. Two phones that now receive a security update that the manufacturer itself emphasizes as important. So after two years have passed since the second of them, the S8, lost its updates, both models come back to life to fix some flaws in their software. green things.
Two years later, the magic works
As we say, both models stopped updating two years ago. More specifically, in the month of November 2020, the last update was released for both, with an S7 that extended its maintenance time a little longer. Since then, both phones have remained unchanged but Samsung has decided to extend them a little longer.
And it does so thanks to the fact that it has released, today, a new update for both phones. This update receives the version number G95xFXXUCDVG4 and it seems to be important, according to what Samsung indicates. In addition, everything indicates that neither the S7 nor the S8 will be the last “old guard” models to receive similar updates.
So much so that it seems that the Galaxy S6 will follow the same path and will soon receive a new update. It is also indicated that the same will happen with the Galaxy S9, although these are already more modern and their set-up causes less surprise. The update, by the way, seems to fix a security issue that has to do with the GPS tracking system, so we recommend installing it as soon as it is received. If you have an active S7 or S8, of course.
