Verizon's Samsung Galaxy Note 8, Note 5 and Galaxy S6 edge+ receive June security patch

Verizon variants of three Samsung devices are beginning to receive the June Android security update OTA. The three handsets are the Samsung Galaxy Note 8, Samsung Galaxy Note 5, and the Samsung Galaxy S6 edge+. The software versions are R16NW.N950USQU4CRF3, NRD90M.N920VVRS3CRF1, and NRD90M.G928VVRS3CRF1, respectively.

Before starting the updating process, Verizon suggests that you make sure that you are connected to a Wi-Fi network, or have a strong Verizon cellular signal. In addition, your battery should be fully charged. The security patch being received by all three phones is dated 6/1/2018.

In addition, Galaxy Note 8 users will also receive an Auto on feature for Wi-Fi calling. As many of you know, Wi-Fi calling allows users to make and take calls over a Wi-Fi network if cellular connectivity is unavailable. Auto on will continue to send notifications when Wi-Fi calling is going to be used, requesting an address for emergency purposes. Once an address is provided, the Wi-Fi calling service is enabled.
