Samsung Galaxy M40 Starts Receiving Its First Software Update With May Security Patch in India

Samsung Galaxy M40 has started receiving its first software update just as the phone has been put on sale for the first time in India. It doesn't seem to be a major update and primarily includes the May Android security patch. The Samsung Galaxy M40 buyers will see the update as the first thing when they are done setting up their brand-new smartphone. To recall, Samsung had introduced the Galaxy M40 in India last week. It is the fourth smartphone to be released in the Galaxy M series.

As per the official changelog, the Samsung Galaxy M40 update is 152.36MB in size and carries the version number M405DDU1ASF2/ M405FODM1ASF4/ M405FDDU1ASEB. The update, as we mentioned earlier, mainly includes the May Android Security patch. It also brings bug fixes and improvements to the phone.

Like all software updates, the Samsung Galaxy M40 over-the-air (OTA) update will also most likely be released in batches. So, it might take a few days to reach all units. To manually check for the update, head over to Settings > Software updates.
