Samsung is rolling out a new update to its 2018 flagship, the Galaxy Note9. The update brings an updated UI as well as the latest security patch to the device.
The Galaxy Note9 is one of the phones that ran Samsung’s old Experience UI out of the box. However, it got the new One UI interface along with Android 10 a few months ago. This new update brings One UI 2.1, the version that shipped with the Galaxy S20 series, so owners should get some new features.
The update arrives as version N960FXXU5ETF5 with a file size of 1.25GB and has already begun rolling out to users in Germany. It has been reported that this version is for the international version of the phone that has the Exynos 9810 chipset powering it.
The changelog doesn’t say much but the update comes with June 2020’s security patch. The new features One UI 2.1 brings include Quick Share which is Samsung’s answer to Apple’s AirDrop. There is also Music Share which allows a friend’s phone to play audio to a speaker or headphones that is connected to your own phone without the need for the friend to connect directly to the speaker or headphones. Other features worth mentioning are a new UI for the camera app and Live Caption.
