The US variants of Samsung Galaxy Note 8 are receiving an OTA update with stability improvements and bug fixes. The update seems to be rolling out for all major carriers in the States, we have already received confirmation from Sprint, T-Mobile and Verizon Note 8 users about it. And it won’t be long before it starts rolling out to AT&T users as well.
The software update comes with build number N950USQU1AQI5 and an updated Kernel version 4.4.21 with build date Sep 8. It’s around 198MB in size. Check out the official changelog for it below:
- Improved stability for Navigation app, Google Maps, Weather widget.
- Device stability improvements, bug fixes.
- Performance improvements.
This update first rolled out to Verizon Note 8 variants earlier today, followed by Sprint and T-Mobile. However, Verizon also mentioned a patch for BlueBorne security vulnerability with the N950USQU1AQI5 firmware update. BlueBorne is a security vulnerability on Android devices which lets a hacker gain control over everything on your device, all your files, camera, microphone, etc. just by being in range of your device’ Bluetooth connection.
‘Galaxy Note 8 update and firmware download’
Since the firmware build number for Sprint, T-Mobile and Verizon devices are all same (N950USQU1AQI5). We guess the BlueBorne security patch is rolling out to all Galaxy Note 8 variants in the US. If you haven’t received an update notification yet, be sure to check for it manually from your device Settings » Software update » Download updates manually.
