If there is a device that has attracted a lot of attention during the 2018 Mobile World Congress we could name the Samsung Galaxy S9. The mobile of the Korean firm incorporates new features and a continuous design with respect to its previous generation. This device went on sale on February 25, just after finishing its presentation. Until March 16, the units will not be sent to their buyers, even so, Samsung has decided to launch the first security update, which reaches both the Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9 + models. It incorporates the March security patch and other news that we tell you below.
So we have been able to find out from the GizChina portal. The Samsung Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9 + receive the March security update. It is, therefore, the first Software update that devices receive, and it will not be the last, of course. It arrives with the numbers G960FXXU1ARC5 and G965FXXU1ARC5, and has a weight of approximately 240 MB. The update incorporates the March security patch, which addresses various vulnerabilities. In addition, it comes with improvements in the stability of the system, performance and of course, improvements in the security of the device itself.
When will the update arrive?
The update has started to appear in Germany, but chances are that once all the devices are shipped, the update will be ready for download. It is very likely that you will skip automatically as soon as you turn on and configure the device. If not, you should go to 'Settings', 'device information' and 'System update'. There, check that the update is already available to download. Remember, it is advisable to have at least 50 percent battery available. As well as enough space in the internal storage of the Galaxy S9. Although this is a small update, it is recommended to make a backup. You could lose your data and all the initial setup.
Finally, if you have purchased a Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9 +, remember that the firm has promised up to three years of updates. So, even if they take time to arrive, you can rest easy.
