The Galaxy S7 is the fourth Samsung flagship to be getting the February patch, following the Galaxy Note 9, Galaxy S9, and the Galaxy Note 8. The update is based on Android Oreo, as expected, and doesn't bring anything other than the new patch. The February patch includes fixes for five critical and dozens of high and moderate risk Android OS vulnerabilities. As many as 12 Samsung Vulnerabilities and Exposures items have also been fixed with this security patch.
To download the update, open the Settings app on your Galaxy S7, tap Software update, then tap the Download updates manually option. You can also flash the full firmware by downloading it from SamMobile if it isn't available for you over the air.
