Samsung has always been the company which has delayed the update process to their phones whenever it comes to version upgrade or security patches but same is not the case anymore. Samsung, ever since the debacle of the Note 7 has started to release timely updates to each and every phone in their lineup be it a mid-ranger or a flagship. The Samsung Galaxy S5 Mini, On7 (2015) and Galaxy S Duos 3 are in no means the latest smartphones from Samsung but they are receiving timely updates as well.

One thing that we recommend to our readers is that, ensure you have atleast 50% or upwards battery left on your smartphone before starting the update download process. Also make sure you are connected to a stable WiFi network to make sure that the update you installed has been downloaded correctly. One more important thing to do before downloading any update is to take a backup of your data just to secure your data from being lost.
