The Galaxy Note 8 (2017 edition)

[Jurong640]

You trust the app meh? I'm a bit skeptical lar... ha ha...

I won't believe it 100% or even 50%. It's estimated and my battery is coming to 3-years, the capacity is indeed lowered. But there can't be definite stats on the battery.

Free version.

Go into the apps notifications and disable it.

March 2020 security update out now for Galaxy Note 8 and S8 series

Samsung’s flurry of security updates continues as the March 2020 security patch is now rolling out to two more smartphone models, the Galaxy S8 series and the Galaxy Note 8. Unsurprising given the age of these models, the update doesn’t add any new software features but ensures that the security of these devices remains up to the current standards.

After the Galaxy S9 and Note 9, the Galaxy Z Flip, and numerous other mid-range and ex-flagship devices, Samsung is now rolling out the March 2020 security patch for the Galaxy S8 and Note 8 in countless regions. As usual, the update addresses various security issues found in both Android OS and Samsung’s own software, and you can read more about them in our monthly report.

Galaxy Note 8 getting April 2020 security patch in new update


The COVID-19 pandemic doesn’t seem to be having any effect on Samsung’s update game, as the company has continued to release important updates for many of its devices in the last few weeks. We saw the Galaxy S10 and Note 10 get One UI 2.1, many mid-rangers got the Android 10 update (and so did the $2000 Fold), and the April 2020 security patch is also making its way to a few devices.

Earlier this week, Samsung released the April security patch for the Galaxy S8 and S8+, and it is now rolling out an update with the new security patch to the Galaxy Note 8. As is often the case, the update has been released in Germany, where it is available with firmware version N950FXXSADTC4. The update only includes security enhancements; as we had confirmed a few weeks ago, Android 10 is not coming to the Galaxy Note 8 or the Galaxy S8, though they will keep getting security updates for at least another couple of years.

The April security update for the Galaxy Note 8 will probably be released in more markets soon. Once it is available in your country, you will be able to download it over the air from the phone’s Settings » Software update menu by tapping Download and install. You can also find the latest firmware for the Galaxy Note 8 in our firmware archive if you wish to manually update your phone.

Just checked on my Note8, mine also on December. Wa even S8 got April update. Security update is important to patch security loopholes. Oh man, this is dangerous.

Yes, my Note8 can charge full, normal usage within 3hrs can go from 100% to 37%.
From 100% to 4% in 5hrs. Thinking to get the Mi 10 Pro, but not available locally yet. Because Note20 will be expensive.

 

[Jurong640]

...even my old A5 (2017) also got April 2020 security updates, but not Note8 :S
