Thinking of picking one up, but, how often does Samsung update the os? Does it get regular security updates like the flagship phones? Saw a a user recently reported they got a blueborne security update along with a value pack 3 update from a us carrier, did anyone else get this update or blueborne patch yet in Australia?
Thanks
Edit, just found out, as of Oct 20, latest availble security uodate for Australia is R760XXXU2AQC
Anyone know what security fixes this has?
So where are the monthly security patches? I'm on the current software and is still August first security patch. Aren't we supposed to get a monthly patch from Samsung? Didn't they advertise that for all future phones after the S7?
I owned an S8+ and it got monthly updates for 3 or 4 months, now those have stopped too.
Anyone know what the deal is? Not even sure it's an AT&T issue. Looks like no Samsung phones are beyond Android 7.1.1 August 1st security patch.
Only applies to unlocked devices.
Carrier devices are managed differently.
Looks like just the July security patch.

I read Samsung will only be pushing (Google) security updates every 3 months for the S7, but the latest was March 1st, so when is a new security update to be expected? Anybody already received one? I live in Belgium in case location matters. Normally should have been June 1st if cycle is 3 months.
Second, can we only expect 1 more year of security updates from Samsung for the S7 or could it be longer? Places like Amazon.de (Germany) still sell new S7 models.
Unlocked Samsung fold 2, and we are still stuck on August's security update? Should I have received an update by now? View attachment 5117485

Supposedly we unlocked folks are last in line for updates after the carrier locked ones.
This is my first time with a Samsung device and this is weird to me since Samsung advertises the Fold2 as a monthly updated device.
Whats weird is the don't even pump something out for the unsupported eSIM, it's crap it isn't functional at this point. Should have been an early patch addressing it world wide as it's already fixed in some markets.

This does seem odd to me that Samsung hasn't even given us September let alone October firmware/Security Patches.
I wonder if this issue happened with the OG Fold? Like Samsung Tablets, maybe Samsung was thinking that they wouldn't sell that many Z Fold2's and we'd be the last to receive any updates.
Has anyone seen any sales stats on the Z Fold2 yet?
This while release gives me a bad taste in my mouth the more it sinks in. A $2000 phone with no case included, no headphones, no special anything. Nothing made this purchase special. Then, the software we are all using hasn't had an update for 2+ months.

T-Mobile Fold 2, no updates yet. : (
My original fold has the September patches. Really unacceptable to still be on August with our Z Fold 2.

Everyone on the eastern hemisphere probably has the Sept update. Meanwhile the western is sitting at Aug patch. If you look on Sammobile, Singapore was the last place to get Aug patch on 9/16. Then on 10/4 got the Sept patch. We got our first patch around 9/13. Maybe they're finally finished over there and can show us some love over here.
I'll be damn, they now rolling out Oct patch to some peeps that have the Sept patch lol. They may as well just give us the Oct patch now.
