July security update now arriving on the Galaxy Note 4

Samsung has started rolling out this month’s security update for the Galaxy Note 4 in Europe, following its release for the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ less than a week ago, which is impressive considering the handset is getting on for three-years-old.

The upgrade — N910FXXS1DQG5 — weighs in at around 200MB and transports patches for a total of 65 Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) in the Android OS and 16 weaknesses in the firm’s Galaxy-branded smartphones.
