White Galaxy Note 9 may be launched in Taiwan on November 23

It was first reported earlier this year that Samsung might offer a White Galaxy Note 9. The company is no stranger to offering new color options for flagship smartphones a few months after they hit the market. It recently unveiled the first gradient color for the Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9+ as well.

Multiple reports out of Taiwan claim that the company has confirmed it will launch this color for customers in the country on November 23. If the information is accurate, it would be the first market to receive this color.

White Galaxy Note 9 possibly launching in Taiwan

No official press images of this White Galaxy Note 9 have surfaced as yet. The local media outlets reporting this are all going with an image that was leaked earlier this month. They do claim that Samsung Taiwan has confirmed that this handset will be available for purchase in Taiwan from November 23 to celebrate the upcoming winter season.

Nothing else will be different about this device other than the obvious color difference. It’s unclear what the company might name this hue. Earlier reports have suggested that it may be called “Pure White.”

It certainly appears to look the part with a matching S Pen to go with it. This would be the first Galaxy Note smartphone to come in white ever since the Galaxy Note 5 which was released in 2015. Samsung may still find takers for this color option in several markets. Perhaps it feels that this color will have a good reception in Taiwan at launch.

The Galaxy Note 9 is currently offered in Midnight Black, Metallic Copper, Lavender Purple, Ocean Blue and Cloud Silver colors. Availability depends on the region as Samsung doesn’t offer all options in all markets. It’s unclear if and when the company will launch the White Galaxy Note 9 outside Taiwan.

Galaxy J7 (2016) updated to Android 8.1 Oreo in some countries

For the first time ever, Samsung has released a second major OS upgrade for a Galaxy J series phone. It has been known for a while that the Galaxy J7 (2016) would be getting Oreo, and it looks like the update has arrived in some countries in the last couple of days. Samsung’s official roadmap in the Samsung Members app says the update is scheduled for November, but the rollout may have begun in late October for some.

Galaxy J7 (2016) Oreo update not widely available yet

Complete Android Oreo firmware for the device seem to be unavailable at the moment, though. Smart Switch won’t say there’s an update, either, so it may just be available over the air. For now, it seems the Galaxy J7 (2016) Oreo update is out in some European countries. It’s unclear if the Galaxy J5 (2016) will also be updated to Oreo. If sales numbers are the major factor for Samsung bringing a second major upgrade to the J series phones, the update may only be released for the J7.

But nothing can be said for certain at the moment. The J7 (2016) Oreo update is based on Android 8.1 and comes with Samsung Experience 9.5. Its software version is J710FXXU5CRJ8. If you own the device, you can check of the update from the Settings » Software update menu on the phone. It will be around 1GB in size, so make sure to use a Wi-Fi connection for the download.
