The Galaxy S8 may have gotten two successors but that has stopped Samsung from pushing regular updates to its 2017 flagship model. The Korean giant has just rolled out a fresh update for the global version of the Galaxy S8 with the model number SM-G950F).
The official changelog shows that the update brings improvement in the phone’s camera stability and a ‘security patch update’. The security patch isn’t strictly the March security patch as that has already been made available earlier this month, precisely on March 18. That makes this update the second one the company would be pushing to the Galaxy S8 with a space of two weeks. The OTA may take a while before reaching all users so if you are yet to receive the update on your S8, expect it to hit soon.

Samsung Galaxy S8 was updated to Android 9.0 Pie only last month. That may explain the frequent updates. The update brings onboard the new, fully redesigned One UI custom overlay, making the S8 look and feel almost like an S10 in terms of the software. The Galaxy S8 launched with Android Nougat and last year, it got the Oreo update. This is the second major update for the model and likely the final. Samsung will now likely deliver only security patches for another year before resting the device from any form of updates.
