At the end of a certain period, update support for mobile devices is cut off due to company policies, however, companies can also send patches to very old phones in critical situations. Samsung has been busy with the GPS patch for a while.
Galaxy S5 Neo received an update
The Galaxy S5 Neo, released circa 2015, does not normally receive updates, but the GPS bug affecting the Galaxy S8 series has apparently spread to many more phones. Besides the Galaxy S5 Neo, the Galaxy J7, Galaxy S7, Galaxy S7 Edge and Galaxy Note 8 models are also getting the GPS update.
Samsung Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8 Plus got a surprise update
In the next wave, the Galaxy S6, Galaxy S6 Edge, Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9 Plus flagships will also receive a GPS patch. Thus, all the flagships of the company in the last 7 years are patched. It may also come to more models like the J series. The new 420MB update mainly focuses on the GPS stability of the devices.
