Do the Unlocked version get regular updates? - Samsung Galaxy S9 Questions & Answers

I remember hearing the S8 Unlocked had very delayed updates. Is this an issue on the S9 as well?

My SM-G960U1 is still on build ARBG and Feb. 1 security patch level.

I am unlocked in the UK i am on 1 April patch with ARD 4 build number

Try flashing over to the 960U builds. Newer firmware and may security bulletin.
FYI you'll be stuck until U1 firmware starts rolling out with V2 bootloader.

When owning a midrange "motonovo" device, being optimistic and having hope is the best strong suit for waiting on updates ?

I'm hoping feb 9th. My birthday lol. I've tried every ROM out there and they're all excellent, but I just can't deal with the camera. I need shutter speed and iso adjustments so pictures of things like the moon look like what we see rather than a random white dot. I haven't been able to find any ROM that does it better than a stock variant with Moto camera in professional mode, so I'm stuck on Nougat until Lenovotorola gets off their butts and gives us Oreo.

It looks like oreo is closer.. end of january or start of february probably.. unless lenovo screw up again
-------------
This security patch changelog was up since november, so there is no reason for us not to get oreo, i mean it is probably outdated.
Can anyone with XT1686 (Indian variant) post a screenshot of the build number of the latest January update?

I know that a January security patch is due tho but it won't be 137-92/93
I don't think the january patch will be released alone, it will come along with oreo mid-feb

You might be right
Does anyone know why my g5 plus hasn't been updated in so long,
It says software channel retgb and I'm still on 1st august security patch, honestly this is making me want to go back to iPhone, that's getting on for 5 months out of date for basic security.
retgb here also, security is only an issue if you use phone unwisely, in locations wifi you cannot trust, apps installed from unknown sources or dodgy websites, if not doing any of the above you should be fine.
There is only so much security you can build into any OS, the rest is down to you.

Is that the same security patch level though?
Android Security : Includes the updates of Android security patches through April 1st 2018.
So though to 1st April would be March, but not April... Unless there was a security patch on April 1st??
Edit.. Just checked and the security patch after March was on 2nd April. So the patch for G5S seems to be for March security patches also.
Just received March security patch in Poland (RETEU).
Well, i will probablu receive this patch in 10 days because RETLA is the last one receiving these patches

Does MI9SE still get updates (security patches)?

My last security patch for MI9SE was December 2020, I haven't had an update ever since. I was wondering do all owners of grus stopped receiving updates or it's just me because of unlocked bootloader?
