Samsung Galaxy J4, Galaxy J4+, and Galaxy J6+ are reportedly getting their Android Pie updates. While the Galaxy J4 is said to have received the Android Pie update initially in Panama, the Galaxy J4+ is reported to have got the new update in Thailand, Ukraine, and Vietnam. The update for the Galaxy J6+, on the other hand, is reportedly rolling out in India, Iraq, and Germany. The Android Pie update for the Galaxy J4, Galaxy J4+, and Galaxy J6+ comes along with Samsung's One UI.
The Android Pie update for the Samsung Galaxy J4+ and Galaxy J6+ includes the April Android security patch, reports SamMobile. Alongside the Galaxy J4+ and Galaxy J6+, the Android Pie update has also reportedly hit the Galaxy J4 users in Panama at the initial stage.
Samsung is said to have provided its One UI alongside the key Android Pie features on the Galaxy J4, Galaxy J4+, and Galaxy J6+. There are also various bug fixes and improvements as a part of the new update.
Similar to other software updates, Samsung is reportedly rolling out the Android Pie update for the Galaxy J4, Galaxy J4+, and Galaxy J6+ through an over-the-air [OTA] package. You can, however, check its availability on your device manually by going to Settings > Software update > Download updates manually. The handsets in question were previously running Android Oreo with Samsung Experience UX on top.
As we mentioned, prior to the latest rollout, Samsung brought the Android Pie update for the Galaxy J6. The update reportedly arrived in Italy earlier this month and in few days it was said to have reached India recently.
Just because you bought your current smartphone with pocket change in 2018 doesn't mean you don't get to enjoy the same peace of mind everyone else is, or thereabouts. Well, everyone else in Samsung's family, that is. Case in point: the Galaxy J4 just started getting the June security patch.
At the ripe age of three years and two months, ways past the point of its original expiration date. The new release is identified by build number J400MXXSCCUE3 and doesn't seem to be widely available just yet.
Could this be the final update the Galaxy J4 receives?
Based on what Samsung disclosed in this month's security bulletin, some of these fixes that are on their way to the Galaxy J4 might have actually been repackaged and included in the July 2021 update for most of its other devices. And it has to do with Bluetooth vulnerabilities, for the most part.
But either way, if you're a Galaxy J4 owner, you can count on the new patch to reach you in the coming weeks. Alternatively, our firmware archives are here as always, if you know how to use them. As for whether this will be the final update for your Galaxy J4, it might. It's on biannual updates now, actually, and isn't included in the four years' worth of security patches that Samsung's been promising since recently.
As things stand right now, anyone still holding on to their Galaxy J4 can count on likely one more update after this one and possibly not even that, depending on where in the world they're located. Still, we're talking about years after any other manufacturer would have left their entry-level customers to fend for themselves.
We want to inform all our users about the update of One UI 2 with Android 10 for our Galaxy customers.
With the next update, you'll have exciting new features from Samsung and Google based on feedback from users like you.
This phone has been working fine up until now and even though it's missing certain features, it's been working well for my purpose. However, it has been less than a year and all of a sudden my microphone is gone. I purchased from MVD Mobile and I don't know if it's a seller issue or a manufacturer issue, but I would not recommend this phone if the mic will not last for even a year

What is the latest Android version for Samsung J4?
The Galaxy J4 is originally shipped with Android 8.0 "Oreo" and Samsung's Experience user interface. In 2019, it received the Android 9 Pie update with One UI 1.0. It then received Android 10 with One UI 2 in 2020.
Why did One UI install on my phone?
One UI was designed as part of a goal to make Samsung's hardware and software "work together in perfect harmony" and provide a more "natural" experience on large-screen smartphones.
What's the difference between One UI and Android?
Samsung's One UI includes modifications that Samsung made on top of stock Android. In fact, One UI makes some of the most extensive changes to stock Android, so you may find it challenging to recognize the base Android version on any version of One UI. Stock Android does not have a whole lot of features.
What is Samsung One UI used for?
Samsung One UI is the company's simplified and uncluttered custom interface for Android. The One UI user experience is beneficial for larger screens and one-handed use, which makes sense, as the company popularized the phablet with its Note series.
