Samsung becomes the first device to compile and successfully deploy the upcoming August 2017 Security Patch update even before Google. We have seen only a few occurrences like this before when OnePlus released the May Security update on the 1st of May and later Google deployed it around 9th. This can only mean one thing for all the Samsung users. The August update shall be released sooner than expected with Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus being the first ones to receive them. Google is planning to release the same with a stable Android O version.

We have seen the July security update for all the phones S Series, J Series, A Series, and even the C series. Be it is a ROM update or security patch update, starting from the low end or mid ranged to high-end flagships, all Samsung devices stay updated.
