Samsung Galaxy Note 9 update

Update, April 30, 11:42 a.m. ET: Samsung Galaxy Note 9 update hub: Samsung is rolling out the April Android security patches to the Galaxy Note 9 along with some other minor tweaks. The update is landing in Germany, according to an article published on Sam Mobile earlier today, though it looks like it may be hitting the Netherlands too.

The update comes in at around 520MB and it gives users the ability to set a schedule for its Night viewing mode, and to alter the field of view when taking selfies. You can now choose between 68 and 80 degrees when using the selfie camera thanks to a new toggle above the shutter button. One user also suggests the same can be achieved by swiping left or right on the viewfinder.

Some U.S. carriers also rolled out the April security patches this month, but without mention of the other tweaks. If you received the patch in the U.S., check your Night mode settings and your selfie camera to see you received the other upgrades with it. If not, they should follow in a future OTA.

Original coverage, March 2, 07:57 a.m. ET: Welcome to the Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Android update hub. Here, you’ll find everything you need to know about the latest Galaxy Note 9 updates, including its current version, and when future updates are likely to arrive.

Galaxy Note 9 update

  • Current stable version: Android Pie
  • When will the Galaxy Note 9 get Android Q? March – April 2020 (estimated)

The Galaxy Note 9 arrived with Android Oreo on August 24. It started to receive Android Pie, the latest version of Android, in February. Android Q is expected to be the last major software update it receives.

Based on Samsung’s recent updates, the phones should receive Android Q within seven to eight months of Google releasing the final version (Google is expected to release Android Q around this August). This would represent roughly the same timescales as we saw with the Galaxy Note 8, which launched with Android Nougat, receiving the Android Pie update. We’ll let you know when we learn more.

Woman clawed by zoo jaguar while trying to take selfie, learns valuable lesson

Slate A woman’s trip to the Wildlife World Zoo, Aquarium, and Safari Park in Arizona was cut short when she was clawed by a captive jaguar (via CBS News ). The woman had climbed over a concrete barrier to get closer to the animal to snap a selfie with her smartphone. The woman was admitted to the hospital with her arm in “pretty bad shape,” according to medical responders. However, she was released shortly after with a series of stitches. According to witnesses on the scene — one of which captured a video of the woman writhing in pain after the jaguar clawed at her arm — the incident began when the unidentified woman climbed over a federally-regulated concrete wall that helps to keep a safe distance between the animal cage and the spectators. Once over the wall, the woman turned her back to the cage to snap the selfie. At some point shortly thereafter, the jaguar reached its two front paws outside the cage and grabbed the woman’s arm. The woman then tried to wrench it out of the
