Do you enjoy using Microsoft Edge as your primary mobile browser? If that is the case, then you should be pleased to find out that Microsoft has just released a brand-new update for the mobile browser. The update sports the 42.0.2.4048 version number and we are advising all Edge fans to keep their smartphones connected to a stable Wi-Fi network so that they can download it as soon as possible. With that said, let’s check out everything there is to know about the new update.
Microsoft Edge 42.0.2.4048 Update
Considering the fact that Microsoft is directly in charge of Edge, then no one should be surprised to find out that the mobile browser is updated on almost a daily basis with improvements. After all, Microsoft is one of the world’s biggest tech and software companies.
Nonetheless, the new update is changing Edge’s version number to 42.0.2.4048 and it is rolling out via OTA (over the air) channels right now.
Faster Performances
What makes Edge stand out when compared to other mobile browsers is the speed at which it runs. This is all thanks to Microsoft’s high-level software optimizations. The new update focuses on improving the overall performances of the mobile browser and it does that by introducing a bunch of “under the hood” software tweaks.
The reason why these improvements are called “under the hood” is that even though Edge fans might not be able to see them as they would a new feature or UI (user interface) change, they are certainly going to feel them because they are helping Edge run faster and smoother than usual.
The APK Variant
The last thing that we want to mention is that the new update can also be manually downloaded and installed. This is possible by downloading the update in the form of APK (Android Package Kit).
