The Galaxy S4, in its day, was a pretty capable smartphone. However, with its fourth birthday fast approaching, its update period has long since passed. No matter to T-Mobile, though; the company has just pushed the latest February 2017 security patches to it and the older Galaxy Tab 3… but they’re still on Android 4.4 KitKat.
This isn’t the first time that T-Mobile’s pulled something zany like this off; at the end of last year, it updated the two year-old ZTE ZMAX to November 2016 security patches, also on top of KitKat.
T-Mobile is rolling out Feb. 2017 security patches to the Galaxy S4 and Tab 3, their first updates since 2015 was written by the awesome team at Android Police.
