Vodafone is now sending out another Android 5.1.1 update to its Galaxy S6 (SM-G920F) & S6 Edge (SM-G925F) devices across Europe. The update came out as build G920FXXU2QOH8 for the Galaxy S6 while on the hand the Galaxy S6 Edge also received the build G925FXXU2QOH8.
Even though at the moment we do not know the possible effects of what's new on the update. But while taking a closer look the firmware build itself, both builds have a similarity to the also recently released build G920FXXU2COH2 and G925FXXU2COH2 on unlocked Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge. Some noticeable features found in recent updates are the newly redesign icons taken from the Galaxy Note 5 and Galaxy S6 Edge+.
