Thanks to a more affordable price, the S6 is still one of the best Android phones you can buy right now. One of the finest phones of the year, we recently gave the Samsung Galaxy S6 – and its curvier S6 Edge cousin – the Trusted Reviews Smartphone of the Year award. Considering it still has a great screen and camera, there’s still a lot to like about this phone. Samsung will also update the S6 to Android 7.0 Nougat in the coming months, giving your phone a new lease of life. It laid the groundwork for the fantastic S7 and possibly the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S8. However, it has not seen another since then, and its Pie-based ORA is probably the last one it will ever see.The Samsung Galaxy S6 was an important device, changing Samsung’s focus and shifting to a better design outlook. Its 3-year-old flagship series has been promised an upgrade to Pie, and also received a new update in November 2018. One of the only companies to come close is OnePlus. Google does not even support the comparably senior Nexus 6P at this point. Then again, this ability to commit to security-related support for such an old device is not shared by many other OEMs. Therefore, the S6 will stay firmly on Oreo (Android 8.x) for the foreseeable future. The OEM’s plans for the latest version of Android (9.0 or Pie) definitely leave this model behind. However, we also know that they will not see any other kind of upgrade from Samsung. These claims suggest that Galaxy S6s in other regions may also be able to download this new update soon. These devices have the basebands G920FXXU6ESA1 and G925FXXU6ESA1. This report is based on claims that S6 units in the United Arab Emirates have installed this software. This upgrade raises the S6’s patch level to January 2019. Now, SamMobile has reported that the 2015 flagship has another one.

In November 2018, we noticed that the Samsung Galaxy S6 had received a new security patch directly from its OEM.
