Why haven't I received the security patch MAY and JULY this past month..

[ljbulusan]

B'coz Galaxy A12 (Mediatek version) and the Nacho recieves security updates quarterly (every 3 months)

So you'll receive 4 security patch updates every year until 2024 (2025 if u have the Nacho version)

* I'm not sure on this as long as Samsung don't move Galaxy A12 to biannual update, this will be effective

** But if samsung moved Galaxy A12 to biannual update starting 2023, then we'll only recieve 2 security updates in a year until 2024

And in some situations, we'll receive 4-5 or 4-6 security patch updates in a year if some (critical) vulnerability issues has been fix that's why it's recommended to install security updates on time
(This applies while quarterly update)

Don't worry, even though GalaxyA12 will be move to biannual update soon, we still recieve security updates if needed (such as critical vulnerability issue fixes)
