The Galaxy Note 8 may be Sammy’s latest and most sophisticated device in the Galaxy Note series, but it appears the device hasn’t been given a fair treatment when it comes to getting timely security updates. The company after pushing the updates to older devices as well as less priced Galaxy phones is now reportedly pushing the much needed January update to the flagshipĀ Galaxy Note 8.

The update which is currentlyĀ rolling out to the Galaxy Note 8 units in France is aboutĀ 707 MB and contains only theĀ Android security patch for the month of January which fixes six critical Android vulnerabilities and 13 exploits in Samsungā€™s propriety skin, along with various other minor exploits, details of which can be found at Samsungā€™sĀ official websiteĀ for security patch information.
