Verizon Galaxy J3, J3 V, J7 & J7 V September security updates arrive

Android 10 is here, and every smartphone manufacturer has geared up for rolling out the latest Android OS for their devices. Samsung is known for late updates but this year, they have tried very hard to change this perception.

This year the company has brought in updates for many of its older generation smartphones as well. Moreover, not only this but Samsung is also going all-in in order to make a speedy delivery of the Android 10 (or One UI 2) for its compatible devices.
