Are you assuming Samsung's updates rigorously use SSL, with proper certificate checking, or do you know that to be the fact?
These sorts of consumer-device companies often take other unwise security-through-obscurity, or only "folk-secure", shortcuts elsewhere – rather than defense in depth.
For example, thinking their app-signing keys secure, maybe they used something other than SSL, or SSL in some no-certificate-validation-mode.
It happens more than it should, with giant consumer-electronics conglomerates, even!
