How to update your Samsung Galaxy phone or tablet
Galaxy software updates help improve the user interface, enhance security, and remove minor bugs. Follow the instructions below to update your Galaxy device’s software and keep it operating smoothly.
Note: Australian mobile operators and Samsung have identified a number of older mobile devices that will not correctly connect to an alternative mobile network to make Triple Zero calls when the customer’s primary mobile network is unavailable. These devices need to be updated or replaced to make sure they work reliably in an emergency. Head to our page, Keeping you safe: An issue with some older mobile devices calling Triple Zero to see if this affects your mobile device/s.
