Galaxy S8 October security patch update is out
The October 2018 security patch fixes a dozen critical Android OS vulnerabilities. 11 critical vulnerabilities that affect only Samsung's software have also been fixed, in addition to many minor and medium-risk vulnerabilities. It's unclear if the update brings anything other the latest security fixes, but if you own a Galaxy S8 or S8+ and have received the update, do let us know by leaving a comment.
To see if the update is available for your phone, open the Settings app, go into the Software update section, then tap Download updates manually. Alternatively, you can download the latest firmware from our database (Galaxy S8 | Galaxy S8+) and upgrade through a Windows PC.
