In the case of Galaxy A50, the update is barely a security enhancement bringing nothing but the June SMR. However, the changelog of Moto G6 mentioned a few new changes apart from the improved security patch. Let’s have a brief look at the updates for each of the device.

Verizon Samsung Galaxy A50

The latest update for Verizon Galaxy A50 bears the version QP1A.190711.020.A505USQS6BTE3.
