Vodafone has today started distributing this month's security patch for all its carrier-branded variants of the Galaxy A5 (2016) sold in Europe. For those unaware, the upgrade — dated January 1, 2017 — addresses a total of 67 Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) in the Android OS and an additional 28 patches for Samsung's latest smartphones.

As we've come to expect, this release is being rolled out to compatible handsets in stages. To see if the OTA is ready for your device, simply head into Settings » About Device » Download Updates Manually. Alternatively, you can always wait until you receive a notification prompting you to install the update (firmware version: XXS3BQA6).
