According to Sammobile, the Galaxy Note FE which is also known as the “fixed” Galaxy Note 7 has recently received a new update with a firmware version (N935FXXS8CUD1). It comes with a security patch dated April 2021 and it is said to be pushed to users in Cambodia, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Saudi Arabia, Thailand and Vietnam.
The Galaxy Note 7 was launched with Android 7.0 out of the box and the last major update was Android 9 with OneUI back in 2019. Although the Galaxy Note 7 is over 4 generations old, it is good that Samsung is still pushing security updates for owners that are still holding on to the device. This will help address new security vulnerabilities that are discovered from time to time.
The Galaxy Note FE is last Galaxy Note device to come with a physical home button that has an integrated fingerprint sensor. Unlike the ill-fated Galaxy Note 7, the battery is slightly smaller at 3,200mAh instead of 3,500mAh.
