Update 10/15]: Like clockwork, the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 is now receiving the October 2019 security patch after the Note 10, S10, Note 9, and S9. The device might be getting a little long in the tooth now but it’s still been a great servant and is still getting these regular updates — which is always beneficial for those that hang onto their tech. Firmware version N950FXXU7DSJ1 is currently rolling out in portions of Europe including the Netherlands, Bulgaria and the Baltic regions (via SamMobile). We expect the OTA to head out more widely over the coming days, so be sure to check your own device regularly. [Update 10/11]: So now the two-year-old Galaxy S9 is getting the October 2019 security patch treatment with the update rolling out right now across Europe. The update brings the firmware version G96*FXXS6CSI4 to the still impressive handset (via SamMobile). Reports in Europe mean that we expect the OTA to hit US devices in the coming weeks once carriers get their localizations and tweaks finalized. [Update 10/10]: The October patch is now rolling out to the US unlocked Galaxy Note 10 and Note 10+ (via SamMobile). The OTA brings firmware version N97*U1UES1ASI3 and should be available to download right now and measures in at slightly lower 205MB.
