Samsung pushes out July security patch update for flagship devices

Samsung has been very ill-timed in giving out the updates for their consumers, even the security patches. From the last year, the company seems to be on the right track in rolling out the updates faster. Today the OEM has started pushing out the July Security Patch update for several flagship smartphones. This time the Galaxy S6 series smartphones and latest flagship S8 series are the ones to get the July security patch update. Usually, the companies tend more often to give out the security patch updates by the beginning of the month, but the Samsung is a little late in pushing out the update. We cannot also blame the Samsung for this as they have to build it for several country versions, carrier aggregation models, etc. The Galaxy S7, which stands in between the Galaxy S6 and S8 has already been upgraded to the July Security Patch level to July couple days ago.
