Samsung has a history of releasing software updates to devices even after their scheduled support period ends, and the company has done so again with the Galaxy Note 9. The handset was released way back in 2018 and the Korean company officially ended its support late in 2022. However, it has received an unexpected update with the February 2023 security patch. Here are the details.
As reported by SamMobile, Galaxy Note 9 is getting a surprise in the form of an unexpected software update that bumps the security patch level to February 2023. The update does not bring any new features or notable changes. Although the update was released last month, it has only been rolled out to the United Kingdom and Ireland in the past week. It should also make it to other markets in the near future.
The update is rolling out with firmware version N960FXXSAFWB3 and folks residing in the UK and Ireland should be able to download the update directly to their device OTA by tapping the Download and install option in its Settings » Software update menu.
Samsung has not provided any information on the new features or bug fixes included in the latest firmware update for the Galaxy Note 9. Additionally, the last three months of security patches released by Samsung do not reference any updates specifically for the Galaxy Note 9, as noted by SamMobile.
Galaxy Note 9 was retired with Android 10, however, it continued receiving security updates till May 2022. It was launched back in August 2018 with a Super AMOLED display, a versatile dual-camera setup, a 4000mAh battery, and the S-Pen. The smartphone is powered by the Snapdragon 845 under the hood and 6GB RAM paired with 128GB Storage.
