International unlocked Galaxy Note 8 is getting an update at last
In what has been an almost excruciating wait for Galaxy Note 8 owners, who spent a hefty amount to buy the device only to see no sign of a software update for more than two months, Samsung is finally pushing an update that includes the November security patch and a slew of other changes. The update, which started out in China and made its way to the T-Mobile Note 8 more than a week ago, is currently rolling out in Taiwan, and it shouldn’t take too long to reach other regions.
Galaxy Note 8 update brings security upgrades and more
In addition to the November security patch, the update brings improved performance in the Calendar, Gallery, Voice Recorder, and Reminder apps, a new secure Wi-Fi function, and a fix for an unexplained Samsung DeX error. The firmware version is N950FXXU1BQK6, and at upwards of 840 MB, is among the biggest OTA updates that don’t bring a major Android version upgrade that we have seen. But then again, with the time Samsung has taken to actually give us an update, it doesn’t surprise us all that much. Hopefully, future updates won’t take as long, especially those that bring the ever-so-important Android security patches.
To grab the update, go into your Note 8’s settings, tap Software update, then tap the Download updates manually option. We also have the firmware (for Taiwan) in our database, and at some point down the line, it should also be making an appearance on Samsung’s Smart Switch software for PC.
Firmware Details:
| Model | SM-N950F |

Samsung has a Swarovski SMARTgirl Limited Edition Galaxy S8+ in Spain
Over in Spain, Samsung is selling a special edition of the already special Rose Pink Galaxy S8+ called SMARTgirl Limited Edition. What’s in this edition? Well, Samsung is just bundling a shiny Swarovski case with the phone to attract the ladies, probably those who weren’t already sold on the regular Pink Rose Galaxy S8+. The case itself doesn’t seem to be as studded with jewels as usual Swarovski cases, since the price of the SMARTgirl Limited Edition is only €949.00. Well, that’s still a high price, but not as high as you would usually find such editions to be.
SMARTgirl Limited Edition Galaxy S8+ is, well, limited in availability
Samsung only seems to be selling this in Spain, and once stocks for the phone are over, it will be taken off the market. It’s possible Samsung will bring the special edition to other European markets, but it seems unlikely that will happen. Hopefully, Samsung will at least bring the Pink Rose Galaxy S8+ to other markets, maybe along with the Burgundy Red version once it ends its South Korean exclusivity.
For those wondering, yes, the SMARTgirl Limited Edition phone doesn’t make any changes to the specs. You get a 6.2-inch WQHD+ Infinity display, the Exynos 8895 processor, 4GB of RAM, 12-megapixel rear camera, 8-megapixel front camera, a 3,500 mAh battery, and Android 7.0 Nougat.
Would you be interested in the SMARTgirl Limited Edition of the Galaxy S8+?

Samsung mass producing 2nd gen 10nm FinFET process technology
Samsung has announced today that it has started mass production of chips based on the company’s second generation 10nm FinFET process technology. Called 10LPP (Low Power Plus), the company says the second-generation process will allow up to 10 percent higher performance or 15 percent lower power consumption over the first generation 10nm process.
Second generation 10nm process technology hits mass production
Samsung has kicked off a new manufacturing line in Hwaseong, Korea to be able to meet the demand that will arise for chips based on the new 10 nm process. According to Ryan Lee, vice president of Foundry Marketing at Samsung Electronics, the company will now look towards 8nm as well as 7nm technology. We’re still some ways away from seeing mass production of 7nm chips, but at the pace Samsung is moving, it wouldn’t be surprising to see it bring 7nm to the mainstream by the end of next year.
Naturally, we can expect the new 10nm process to be used for building the Snapdragon 845 and Samsung’s own flagship smartphone processor for use in devices next year. It’s likely both chips will be focused on increased power efficiency rather than increased performance, unless Samsung can start making the new graphene ball lithium-ion batteries by next year, which probably won’t happen.

Latest Android 8.0 Oreo beta rolling out for the Galaxy S8 in the US
Samsung has released the third iteration of its Android 8.0 Oreo beta firmware in the United States, following its rollout in the United Kingdom last week. Unlike the upgrade that made the rounds over the pond, this latest update bundles a number of miscellaneous bug fixes, according to the lengthy changelog.
Related: Samsung has begun testing the Galaxy S9 with Android 8.0 Oreo
There could be a simple explanation for that, though: there’s a chance that the firm didn’t list all of the changes in its first changelog—but that seems unlikely. What’s more probable, however, is that Samsung had to patch a number of additional bugs exclusive to the Snapdragon variant of the Galaxy S8.
How do I check to see if the OTA is ready for my Galaxy S8?
If you’re enrolled in Samsung’s Android 8.0 Oreo Beta Program and would like to check to see if the latest update is available for your Galaxy S8, head into Settings, select Software Update, then tap Download Updates Manually—and while it’s downloading, be sure to check out our What’s New With Android 8.0 Oreo series.
