Samsung has now officially released the June security patch for all its tablets that had not yet received the SMR for last month. The list includes the Galaxy Tab S2, Tab S3, Tab 4 and Tab E, with their firmware versions being T715CZCU2CQF1, T825XXU1AQF3/T820XXU1AQF3 (Wi-Fi/Wi-Fi + LTE), T531XXU1AQD1 and T560NUUEU1BQF1 respectively.
In addition to the usual 96 fixes which the June update brings for all devices running on Android, this OTA patch will also tend to some of Samsung's unique bugs and fixes on these tablets. If you own any of these models, check your device now to see if you already have received a notification or manually confirm it from the settings menu just to be sure. As the reports coming in are varied and isn't exactly tied down to any particular region, you should be getting it within the next few days no matter where you are.

As it turns out, the Play Store isn't as safe as you may think and eZanga claims there are literally hundreds of malicious apps on the Play Store which may harm your phones to varying degrees depending on the particular app and how you sue it. The worst part is that these apps are hard to detect as they do not fit the traditional description of an Android malware. Their malicious activities range from draining the battery and your monthly data plan to collecting information about you and making advertisers pay more than they should by making use of fraudulent accounts. Perhaps the biggest threat which these apps hold is the fact that they can in the future, start selling information that they are now collecting from users unethically.
As eZanga has already plans of informing Google officially in details about the growing problem, hopefully Google will be able to sort this mess out. In the meanwhile, you can stay safe by simply making sure that you do not download any poorly rated app from a shady developer. Also, installing a trusted antimalware software may not be a bad idea.

According to a report by Korea Herald, Samsung is all set to release a new batch of "explosion proof batteries" by the end of roughly two years at most. Yes, the irony of Samsung trying to make batteries that don't explode is not lost on us and let the Note 7 jokes rain! However, it's exactly that blunder which led Samsung to try and develop this solid state, stable battery in the first place.
The batteries are being researched and developed at Samsung's own Samsung SDI division and if they do manage to churn these batteries out like they are hoping to, you can rest assured that Samsung will be the first company to sport them. However, one point to be noted is that an executive at the SDI told Korea Herald that there's no guarantee that those non-explosive batteries will be used in future smartphones. He mentioned that is a call which will be made by Samsung electronics. On a side note, LG Chem is probably on the same track as well and it wouldn't be surprising to see both the companies come up with these safer batteries at nearly the same time.
