The Samsung Galaxy Note 8 is beginning to receive the security update for the month of April. It is doing it with the code N950FXXU3CRD7 and gradually. This means that if you have a Note 8 and you are reading this, you may not have it yet. You already know that it is normal for you to receive a notice in the form of a pop-up message on the screen of your phone. If not, you can check it yourself from the "Settings", "Software update" section.
The April security update brings some bug and vulnerability fixes. The company has not reported how many have been fixed, although it is always very important to install these types of updates to improve the security of the device. You already know that Android is a very vulnerable platform and that it never hurts to be as protected as possible against attacks and threats.
This security update joins the arrival of Android 8.0 for the Samsung Galaxy Note 8. The device has had this version since last month. Oreo has added some interesting enhancements, such as increased performance, adaptive icons, Picture in Picture (PiP) functionality, as well as changes to limitations for background applications or notifications.
Whether you have not yet installed Android 8, or this new April security update, you already know that it is best that before you do so, take into account a series of recommendations. The most important is to make a backup of all the data stored on the device. In this way, if something happens during the process, you will not lose anything important. Also make sure that at the time of installation you have more than 50 percent battery. Never install an update, be it security or software, without autonomy.
