The February Security Update is Rolling Out for the Galaxy S8 and S8+

We have good news for our readers in the US today because Samsung has just started rolling out the February security update for the Galaxy S8 and S8+ in the US. The news is a confirmed report by SamMobile since multiple owners of unlocked S8 and S8+ smartphones have confirmed this. This update only concerns the unlocked versions by the way and not the carrier variants, which is in itself a surprise really! Samsung is infamous for updating its unlocked devices after the carrier variants in the US, just in case you didn't know.

The update comes in as firmware version G950USQS2BRB1 for the S8 and G955USQS2BRB1 for the S8+, so feel free to download them if you see an OTA package with a matching version name waiting for your approval to be downloaded and installed. In case you are reading this in another region and you are wondering when the February patch will be arriving on your smartphone, first tell us if you have Oreo 8.0 already, because if you do, then you already have the February patch too.
