Samsung unexpectedly released an update for the Galaxy Note 5 and Galaxy S6 series smartphones.
What does it mean
Let us remind you that these two lines are the flagships of the distant2015. Over the course of two years, as expected, they received the latest versions of the Android operating system, as well as numerous security patches throughout their lives. Their support officially ended over two years ago.
But now the oldies have started receiving an update:firmware version N920SKSS2DTJ2 for Galaxy Note 5 and G92xSKSS3ETJ1 and G928SKSS3DTJ3 for Galaxy S6, Galaxy S6 edge and Galaxy S6 edge+. The rollout began in South Korea and is now expanding to other regions, including Europe.
The changelog is sparse, so it's unclear why this update is needed at all. Perhaps Samsung discovered a vulnerability that required an update to fix.
By the way, the updated Galaxy Note 5 and Galaxy S6 still run Android 7.0 Nougat and retain the September 2018 security patch.
