We previously reported that Samsung had begun promoting a fresh software upgrade for the Galaxy S8 series. The Galaxy S5 Neo, Galaxy S7 series, and Galaxy Note 8 are two more dated devices that can now receive the same upgrade. Let's investigate the topic further.
Like the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8 Plus, the Galaxy S5 Neo, Galaxy S7, Galaxy S7 Edge, and Galaxy Note 8 are not eligible for software support. Despite this, a fresh software update is being applied to all of these outdated flagship series smartphones.
These phones' most recent firmware does not provide any new features or raise the security patch level. Instead, a GPS-related fix is delivered. According to GalaxyClub, Samsung is getting ready to roll out this upgrade for a number of legacy devices.
Since even the seven-year-old Galaxy J7 recently received the same update, it appears that the problem is urgent. The following devices in line for this GPS update are anticipated to include the Galaxy S6, Galaxy S6 Edge, Galaxy S9, and Galaxy S9 Plus.
Obtain and apply the update from Settings if you are still using one of the aforementioned cellphones. Try again later if you haven't seen the update yet because it could take some time for it to reach all regional variations.
It's encouraging to see Samsung release software updates for cell phones without active support. With its current promise of four Android updates and five years of security updates for certain devices, the corporation is also one step ahead of the competition.
