Samsung is very transparent with its mobile security updates. The Korean firm explains each patch in detail. Many of its terminals, generally the most recent in time, receive security updates every month, while those that have been on the market for some time have a longer period. Others no longer have official security support , but now we have seen by surprise, how the Samsung Galaxy S6 and Galaxy Note 5 are receiving a new update.
It is common for a mobile that works properly to remain in the hands of many users even though time has passed. And more, when we talk about flagships such as the Galaxy S6 or the Galaxy Note 5, which in their day were the right eyes and the most advanced of the Korean firm. These terminals have been on the market for five years and have not received any update since 2018 , but Samsung has just released a new patch.
Updated in full 2020
The new firmware version comes with the number N920SKSS2DTJ2 for the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 +, while the Galaxy Note 5 is receiving the version labeled G92 * FXXS6ETI6. The change reports reveal that both terminals improve their security, without specifying further details about it. Keep in mind that until today, the latest security patch for the Galaxy S6 dates from June 2018, while the Note 5 has the security patch from August 2018.
The importance of updating
It is possible that the owners of these devices do not attend or expect any type of update for these terminals. However, we are facing one of those patches that must be taken into account yes or yes. The reason is that terminals with so much time in the market, only receive security updates when a critical vulnerability is detected. However, in addition to the importance for the user to attend to this update, once again we must applaud that Samsung continues to pay attention to its older terminals. Let us remember that they are software resources that are no longer profitable, but whose objective is to ensure the security and privacy of those who once opted for these devices.
Let us also remember that the Korean firm recently announced that its flagships and several terminals of the Galaxy A and Galaxy M family will have three major operating system updates, thus increasing the current commitment and increasing the loyalty of many of its users.
