Install Samsung Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge June 2017 security patch updates

The Korean major Samsung is back with a series of monthly security updates for its premium flagship S-line smartphones. Yesterday we have already posted an update where the Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge variants received the June 2017 security patch. Following the same, the Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge variants are now receiving the June 2017 security patch. The security patch comes as an OTA (Over-The-Air) update and can be installed on the S6 devices running the stock Android 7.0 Nougat firmware. The firmware update is rolling out to the European regions, specifically to the UK, Ireland, and UAE. Upgrading to the firmware will give the PDA G925FXXS5EQF9 and CSC G925FOXA5EQF9 to the UK and Ireland variants, whereas, the PDA G925FXXS5EQF9 and CSC G925FOJV5EQD1 is given to the UAE variants of S6. You can still check if the full Odin firmware is available for download for your particular S6 variants and region.

However, it is still based on Android 7.0 Nougat Samsung Experience interface and not the 7.1.1 Nougat. All the premium Samsung devices are promised Android O. So Samsung might as well jump directly to Android 8.0 O for the Galaxy S8 (Plus). The June security updates come with 96 bug fixes including common vulnerabilities, Exposures (CVE) in Android OS, and 23 patches designed for Galaxy.
