Galaxy Note 9 Android Pie beta getting an update in South Korea

Samsung has just released a new update for the Galaxy Note 9 Android Pie beta. The company released a hotfix update for the Galaxy S9 and S9+ earlier this week to fix some minor issues that had slipped through the previous beta, and like the S9 update, the update for the Note 9 is also limited to South Korea at the moment. No word yet on what the update is all about, but it should fix a few bugs at the very least.

Samsung’s One UI beta program making steady progress

The software version accompanying the latest Note 9 Pie update is N960NKSU2ZRLB. The download size is around 250 MB. For those who missed it, the Note 9 was added to Samsung’s One UI beta program a few weeks after the Galaxy S9. The Note 9 has been more stable than the S9 on the latest beta, but since Samsung is aiming for an official Android Pie release for both devices at the same time, things should equalize as the days go by.

It remains to be seen when these new betas will roll out in other regions where the beta program is active. Once they do become available, Samsung will be putting up a notice in the Samsung Members app. As usual, you can keep an eye on SamMobile for the latest information on the Android Pie beta program.

Galaxy Note 9 December security update more widely available

Those on the Galaxy Note 9 Android Pie beta program are already enjoying both the new One UI features and the security that the December 2018 security patch provides. Those still on Oreo have to wait a while for Android Pie, but the latest security patch is now available in a number of countries around the world. We first saw the Galaxy Note 9 December update released in Hong Kong, and it’s now rolling out to Switzerland, the Nordic countries, Afghanistan, South Africa and a few other markets.

Galaxy Note 9 December patch out in more markets

The new update comes with software version N960FXXS2ARL3 for some and N960FXXS2ARL4 for others. The contents remain the same, though. You get the December security patch, which fixes some serious vulnerabilities that affect Samsung’s software. One of those vulnerabilities could grant someone access to your gallery files inside Secure Folder without needing your authentication, and when something like Secure Folder loses its security, you know there’s a serious risk. So the December update is quite important, and Samsung is moving quickly with bringing it to various devices in its lineup.

The December 2018 security patch update has also been released for the Galaxy S8, Galaxy S9, Galaxy Note 8, and the Galaxy Tab S4 in various markets. Galaxy Note 9 owners can download it from the Software update menu of the Settings app. Just tap the Download updates manually option in there to start downloading the update. It may not be available for everyone right away, so make sure to check again a few hours later. We’ll update this post when the new firmware hits our firmware database.
