Samsung Galaxy S7(Edge) update for Blueborne patch and Optimization [G930FXXU1DQIC]

Recently a security threat called Blueborne Vulnerability is making rounds of every Android tech-based news. This issue has been taken seriously and almost all device manufacturers are trying to get the threat patched ASAP. Samsung is not at all behind in this effort. Right from the end of the first week this month, it started rolling out series of updates for its flagships to fix the Blueborne threat. Mostly the update covered Galaxy S series and Note series of flagships. Adding to the list, Samsung has rolled out the September Security Update for Galaxy S7 (edge).

Although rolled out in September, the update carries August 2017 security patch. We believe that since the Blueborne fiasco surfaced, Samsung is trying to fix the threat first, and in the process, September security patch has been delayed. If you observe, in this month mostly the Galaxy flagship series devices are getting the firmware updates to fix the Blueborne threat. Samsung did not want to seed the September patch with the Blueborne threat unfixed. Of course, fixing a threat is more important than a monthly security update which will eventually follow-up.

This update brings the firmware build number G930FXXU1DQIC/G935FXXU1DQIC to the European variants of Galaxy S7 (edge). This update is based on Android 7.0 Nougat. The update weighs around 370 MB in size. You can capture the OTA or directly download the firmware from Samsung servers.
