Samsung said it plans to update unlocked devices as often as monthly, according to ZDNet.
“Due to various circumstances, we have been releasing security updates for unlocked (open) Galaxy devices in the U.S. on a quarterly basis,” said the company in an emailed statement. “However, we have now resolved the challenges; and we are committed to releasing security updates for those devices on a monthly basis.”
Unlocked models of the Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 edge were last updated in December, but Samsung said it will push the March update to those devices soon.
Samsung didn’t say whether or not the update will include Android 7 Nougat. Carrier variants of the S7 and S7 edge have already begun to receive Nougat.
