    Samsung Gear S2 gets another software update

    Firmware
    By 

    Last updated: March 31st, 2016 at 10:18 UTC+02:00

    The Gear S2 got a major software update earlier this month, and Samsung is pushing yet another update to its best smartwatch this week. The new update is available in many regions already, though Samsung seems to have forgotten to update the changelog as it mentions exactly the same changes that graced the watch with the previous update. It's probably just bug fixes and stability improvements – maybe even a few changes for the upcoming iOS support?

    The update is available as a 20.39 MB download, and you can grab it from the Samsung Gear app (from the app's settings) on your smartphone, though the app should notify you of an update on its own at some point. Let us know if you notice anything new on your Gear S2 after installing the update.
