One of the things that makes Samsung’s smartphones stand out other than their impressive hardware specs is their software stability and useful features. Samsung doesn’t want to rely fully on Google’s Android when it comes to software support and this is why Samsung has created lots of useful apps that are available only its smartphones. The perfect example of this is the Samsung Internet Browser which is renowned for making it much easier to surf the web while mobile.
The reason why Samsung Internet Browser is making headlines on our website today is because it has just received a new update. The update is rolling out via OTA (over the air) channels and it sports the 11.1.2.2 version number. With that said, let’s go ahead and check out the improvements that the update brings.

As previously noted, the latest update for Samsung Internet Browser sports the 11.1.2.2 version number and it is available to download via OTA channels. The update doesn’t come with any new features and instead, it aims to improve the overall software experience.
