Owners of the Samsung Galaxy S9 + should stay tuned for hours to come. And it is most likely - if it has not happened already - is that they will receive an update with improvements. The Samsung company has sent an advisory to the SM-G965F models to install the latest firmware package. But what exactly does it consist of? What improvements does it bring and why is it important that it be included in the phone as soon as possible?
But, let us start at the beginning. The version that is reaching users of the Samsung Galaxy S9 + is the one with the build number G965FXXU2BRJ3. It is a package compatible with Android 8.0 Oreo, which is the version of the operating system with which these computers work.
Obviously, this is a minor update, so an Android version change will not be possible with this package. The only thing that Samsung Galaxy S9 + users will get is to catch up in terms of security and enjoy some extra improvements, although very specific. Let's see which ones.

Although it is a minimal update, it is important that you install it as soon as possible, in order to patch any problem related to the security of the computer as soon as possible.
The security patch is the latest released for this model and is dated October 1, 2018. The fact is that in addition to security improvements, the update brings the following news:
- Device performance has been improved
- There are optimizations in the front camera system
- Added improvements to the brightness of faces in backlit conditions
- Device security has been increased
- The general stability of the different computer functions has been improved
What users may notice is a slight improvement in the performance and stability of the device.
Be that as it may, we recommend that you start the update as soon as possible. If you have doubts, you can follow the instructions and advice that we provide below.
How to update the Samsung Galaxy S9 + in an agile and safe way
If you have a Samsung Galaxy S9 + you should prepare to receive a notification about the availability of this update shortly. Most likely, Samsung will send you a notice indicating that the data package is now ready to download. If not, you can also check the availability of the update yourself, accessing the section Settings> Software update> Manual download. If the update is available, you should be able to download it instantly.
Before upgrading, keep the following in mind:
- Charge your Samsung Galaxy S9 + to the maximum capacity or at least make sure it is at 50%.
- Connect to a WiFi wireless network, which can provide stability during the download process.
- Make sure you have backed up all the most important items.
From there, all you have to do is wait for the download to finish and from there, decide when you want to launch the update. If you have time and you don't need the phone, you can do it right away. But Samsung also offers you the possibility to install the update later or even at night, from two to five in the morning.
Remember that while the update lasts, you will not be able to use the device. Although in the case of this type of process (the package only weighs 280 MB), you will not need too much time.
