Whether you have a mobile with iOS or Android, you will know the importance of keeping the device updated with the latest version of its operating system. Without going any further, this week we learned the news that WhatsApp had detected a security hole that could have jeopardized the confidential information of a good number of users. They recommended, in addition to updating WhatsApp to the latest available version, to do the same with the operating system.
Therefore, if you have a Samsung Galaxy S9 or Samsung Galaxy S9 + it is very important that you launch the latest update for your operating system as soon as possible. And in these is Samsung, which has launched a security patch that has already begun to reach users.
This is the security patch for May, so it would be the most recent to which Samsung users can choose. This maintenance release has already started to arrive for a good number of devices. The first: the Samsung Galaxy Note 8, the Samsung Galaxy A70 and the Samsung Galaxy S7, among others.
The fact is that the next to receive this version are the Samsung Galaxy S9 and Samsung Galaxy S9 +. The patch has begun to arrive this week to users in Germany, so, as usual, the rest of European owners will begin to receive the edition progressively to their teams. This should happen shortly in Spain, so we recommend that you be prepared.
The latest security patch
But let's see what the new security patch brings, corresponding in this case to the month of May. As you can expect from an update like this, the version will offer us fixes for different vulnerabilities detected. Android, for its part, has fixed a total of seven critical problems. It also brings fixes for dozens of vulnerabilities labeled as high and moderate risk.
On the other hand, and as is usually the case, Samsung has also added its own fixes to the package known as Samsung Vulnerabilities and Exposures (SVE), which are security problems or flaws detected by the manufacturer itself.
All these corrections come on board in a couple of versions that carry the following codes. The first one, aimed especially at the Samsung Galaxy S9, is the G960FXXU4CSE3 version. The second, which comes to incorporate corrections for the Samsung Galaxy S9 + is the G965FXXU4CSE3.
In addition to the aforementioned security fixes, we can expect some improvements for the device, which according to the changelog or change log, have to do with a beauty effect of the camera and the Bluetooth connection of the equipment.
You should know, on the other hand, that each update weighs around 380 MB, so it is not particularly heavy. This means that in a few minutes you can have it installed on your device, although if you prefer, you can postpone the update to a time when you do not need the phone, such as, for example, at dawn.
How to update my Samsung Galaxy S9 and S9 +
If you are waiting for the May update for your Samsung Galaxy S9 and S9 +, you should keep in mind that it will reach users progressively, so it may still take a few days. You will most likely receive a warning, but you can manually check its availability from the Settings> Software update> Manual download section.
Remember that before carrying out the update, it is convenient to be connected to a WiFi network (to facilitate the download and not waste data) and to have the phone's battery fully charged, making sure that it is, at least, at 50% of his capacity.
