April security patch hits Galaxy S7 Edge units in India, Skips March security update
Samsung has just now started rolling the new update to the Galaxy S7 Edge units in India bearing the model number SM-G935FD. The update comes with around 176MB in size and along with fixes and performance improvements, this new update also brings the April security patch for the Galaxy S7 Edge handset users in the country.
Samsung also skipped the March security update for the Galaxy S& and S7 Edge units in India and there were no updates rolled out to the Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge, that might be because of the busy schedule and the launch of the Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus flagships by the company. We can now expect the company will roll out the regular updates to the Galaxy S7 flagships from last year.
The update also bumps the build number of the Galaxy S& Edge units to the new build number XXU1DQD7. The update change log shows that this update comes with device stability improvements, bug fixes and enhancements, new or enhanced features and further improvements to the performance of the device.
