The March Security Update Arrives for the Galaxy J7 Neo

All Samsung phones carrying the tag "Neo" are exclusive to the company's Latin American markets, so this news will only be relevant to that region only. So, if you happen to live in a country that saw the Neo series being releaed there and you have a Galaxy J7 Neo, it's time to check for an update that's either already waiting for you, or is about to land on your phone any minute now. The model number on your phone should be SM-J701M, so check for that, in case you are not sure what your model's nick name was. The firmware on the other hand, should come in the form of version J701MUBU3ARC1.

When the news had originally surfaced, the update was being rolled out to the mid-ranger in Peru, but by now, it would be surprising if users in a few other nearby countries have not yet started receiving the same update as well. Just in case you don't know already, the March security update brings fixes for nine critical vulnerabilities in the base Android OS from Google and five of Samsung's own fixes for the month.
