Nonetheless, Samsung has been working hard to fix the issues via OTA updates frequently. The company’s efforts to constantly update the devices with the latest security patches are appreciative, to say the least.
All in all, the latest update of Exynos powered devices don’t have any significant improvements apart from the June security patch. Users can try the new Over-The-Air(OTA) update by going into the System update option inside the settings app. Do note that you cannot downgrade to the older version after updating the device due to Samsung’s security policy.
