Gizchina News of the week
Although the sizes of the current update can’t be ascertained at the moment, the security updates for these devices much like the updates for other Galaxy phones brings fixes for five critical Android vulnerabilities and fixes for 13 Vulnerabilities and Exposures (SVE) in the company’s own software.
The updates are only currently rolling out to users of the flagship Galaxy S8/8+ in China, while same is rolling out to users of the Galaxy A8+ 2018 in India, we do hope to see the same update rolled out to other countries.
Just in case you are yet to get the update notification, we advise you check out whether the update is available for you yet manually via your phone setting. If not don’t worry as the updates may take a while before it gets to your device.
There’s a typo: that’s CVE not SVE. Thanks for sharing!
