Samsung is all set to launch the new Galaxy Note 8 smartphone on August 23rd in New York in an official event. As we are approaching for the launch event we are also expecting the company to launch multiple devices in the event which includes the Note 8 and Galaxy C7 2017 smartphone and the Samsung W2018 flip phone as well. Meanwhile, Samsung has started seeding the July security update to the Galaxy S7 Edge units in India but we are not sure if its available for the Galaxy S7 owners also or not. Interestingly, the update is available with the help of Smart Switch only as we tried getting the update OTA via settings of the phone but haven’t got the update there. This update is of more than 2GB size as we are downloading it via the Smart Switch however, it will be around 200MB OTA and will be available soon for the device.
