Samsung Internet v6.4 brings some new features and improvements
Samsung Internet version 6.4 is ready for prime time with the new update now rolling out to users in the stable channel. The latest update brings some new features that were only available in the beta version of the Samsung Internet previously as well as some other improvements.
The latest version of Samsung’s default browser brings Web Bluetooth, improvements to the download manager, and region-specific features for users in India and China. It enables Web Bluetooth by default for developers and allows web applications to interact with Bluetooth Low Energy peripherals via a JavaScript API if the user accepts the Bluetooth permission request.
Brings new features and Chromium security patches
Samsung made improvements in version 6.4 to monitor and control your downloads in the browser. It is now possible to pause, resume, and cancel downloads right from the notification panel. The browser also allows users to rename files before downloading them. Samsung says these download-related options were initially available in an India-only version 6.3 of the app. It is now extending these features to all the users worldwide with the version 6.4.
The new version offers many improvements specific to the users in India and China. Users in India gain improvements pertaining to the Unified Payments Interface (UPI) and quick access to live Cricket scores. Samsung Internet will now prompt users in India to save their UPI ID for easy access whenever they enter it on a web page. The new version also makes it easy to launch Samsung Pay from UPI ID fields to create new IDs or make payments through the interface.
Samsung has also partnered with India Today to offer live Cricket scores to interested users through an optional downloadable extension. For users in China, Samsung has improved the customization options for the default start page which offers localized content from various internet partners in the country.
Finally, the new version also includes Chromium security patches to mitigate attacks from the ‘Spectre vulnerability’.
The new update will gradually roll out to users via the Google Play Store and Galaxy Apps Store in the next few days.
Note: According to Samsung, this is the latest stable release. Even if the Samsung Internet app on your phone shows a version number higher than 6.4, check the features mentioned above to see if you have the latest version. It is possible that the version number may vary for some users.

I have 6.4.10.5 in Turkey.. Very stable.. Haven’t checked out the new features yet.
Samsung loads a lot of bloatware in its phones like a Samsung browser which very few use yet are unable to uninstall without rooting the device so please Samsung stop loading this bloatware in our phones
I would rather say Chrome is the bloatware.
Samsung Internet is the best browser one could ask for.
v6.4.10.15 on my GS7E in Australia
Maybe specific device issue
After i update, browse this site cause top of screen (status bar, address bar) black text in blue bar, before is white text in blue bar
I have since a couple of month 7.0 running downloaded here from Sammobile APK
Never bothered to check or compare the features … 7 just sounded like it’s the latest and most advanced one…
No problems with 7 so far
It seems the version number varies by device or region. Check the features mentioned above to see if you have the latest stable version
I can do this on 7.0 since last year… rename – pause – cancel
Do You mean v 7.4 instead of 6.4 ? Cause I already have the 7.0 version
It seems the version number varies by device and region. Check if you can pause and resume downloads from the notification panel to see if you have the most recent version.

Interesting. Are you using the beta version of the app? The above news is based on an official announcement from Samsung itself.
No beta here. But im On Oreo and i can do it since the beta has begun. Pause resume rename etc. The exact version is 7.0.10.46
I think it’s device specific. The S8 and Note8 are not on the list of devices for 7.0. In Turkey I have Note8 on 6.4.10.5. My wife has S7 Edge and she is on 7.0 like you.
