Samsung rolls out new software update to these smartphones

Samsung has begun rolling out a new software update to select smartphones, bringing the latest March security update that makes the devices more secure. The company has highlighted that the latest March update will make eligible smartphones strong enough to deal with the latest hacking attempts and malicious attacks. It is a good thing that Samsung is following the security update cycle regularly, but these updates are coming only to the latest smartphones. That means if you are an owner of an old Samsung Galaxy phone, this security update may take a while.
