The Samsung Galaxy S9 was launched back in 2018 with Android 8.0 Oreo OS. The device received the Android 9 Pie-based OneUI update in 2019 and it was followed by the Android 10-based OneUI 2 update in 2020. However, the device didn’t receive the Android 11 update and the company officially removed it from the software support list. But Samsung seems to offer support for security updates even after more than four years as the smartphone has now received a recent security patch.
The Samsung Galaxy S9 and S9+ have received a new security update and it brings the March 2022 Security patch. Well, not the latest, but a recent one and it is also great to see a four-year-old phone still getting the security updates.
The firmware version of the update is G96xUSQU9FVB2 and it is currently rolling out for the carrier-locked S9 and S9+ models in the US. If you own a Galaxy S9 or S9+, head to Settings > Software Update and download and install the update.
The Samsung Galaxy S9 series was released with Snapdragon 845/Exynos 9810 SoCs (depending on the region). Both phones offered compact screens and up to dual-camera setup. The Galaxy S9 came with a 5.8-inch curved screen, while the S9 Pro featured a 6.2-inch panel. The vanilla version has a single 12MP rear camera, whereas, the Plus model has a 12MP main + 12MP telephoto dual-camera system.
