    Galaxy Xcover 4 now receiving June security update

    Firmware
    By 

    Last updated: July 3rd, 2017 at 10:37 UTC+02:00

    The Galaxy Xcover 4 is Samsung's latest smartphone in Europe to receive last month's security maintenance update (G390FXXU1AQF8), which bundles a total of 96 fixes for Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) in the Android OS and 23 patches developed by the firm for Galaxy-branded smartphones.

    This news comes a matter of minutes after an identical 300MB upgrade started making the rounds for the recently-launched Galaxy Tab S3 in the region; however, as you'd expect, that release had a slightly different firmware version: T820XXU1AQF3.

    For those unaware, the Galaxy Xcover 4 was announced back in April and sports a 5-inch LCD display, a 1.4GHz Exynos 7570 quad-core processor, 2GB of RAM, a 13MP rear-facing camera, a 5MP front-facing shooter and a modest 2,800mAh removable battery.

    While customers will receive a notification on their handset when the release is available to download and install, they can manually check to see if it's ready by navigating into Settings, selecting Software Update, then tapping Download Updates Manually.
