The first news related to the corresponding update of the most recent Samsung terminals, pointed out that the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8 + would not receive Android 10 from the hand of One UI 2.0. A piece of news that had to be taken with a grain of salt because it made no sense, but that unfortunately it has been fulfilled.
At the end of last year, we published an article showing Samsung's roadmap to update its devices to Android 10 with One UI 2.0 and where Neither the Galaxy S8 nor the Galaxy S8 + was found. Fortunately, that does not mean that Samsung has forgotten about these terminals.
For a few hours, the security update for the month of January 2020 for the Galaxy S8 and S8 + is now available for download directly from the device through the update is from the system. This update, whose firmware number is G950 * XXS6DTA1 fixes a large number of Android vulnerabilities in addition to 17 vulnerabilities available through Samsung's customization layer on both models.
One of them, the most dangerous of all, allowed to use brute force attacks on the lock screen to gain access to the device without having the device PIN. Although Samsung has decided, for whatever reason and that only they justify, the decision not to update the Galaxy S10 and S8 + to Android 8, its commitment to the security of its terminals remains intact.
