Hi folks,

Searched unsuccessfully for a generic Samsung Galaxy S10 thread, but couldn't find one. Hopefully I'm not double-posting.

While software updates have been impressively regular, its a bit unusual that there was an update in July (on MTN), and already another notification for the August one a few days ago.

It's strange to see 2 so close together, within a month of each other.
Has anyone installed the update from last week? Any idea of the changes?

Samsung's "release notes" are sparse, to put it diplomatically.

Google releases monthly security updates after the big zero day bug a few years ago. Most device manufacturers do the same.
 
Thanks for the replies.

Ja am aware of the security updates, and would expect it if I were using a Pixel, etc.
But usually in SA with locally distributed handsets, those updates are usually fewer and further between - a couple of months at minimum.

There used to be a process whereby the updates would be released from Google to the manufacturer (Samsung), then they would send it to the network (MTN, etc) who would then 'test' it and push it out to local handsets on their network, hence the delay relative to directly-updated Google handsets like the Pixel.

Has the update distributon process changed since I last investigated it, for locally procured handsets?
Or does it not apply to security updates?
