Although Samsung has already started releasing the April security update to one of its low-end handsets even before Google's official declaration of the patch, not all of Samsung's handsets have been updated with the patch for this month yet. Nevertheless, the company is steadily doing so and the Galaxy C7 Pro, Galaxy A8+ (2018) and the Galaxy S7 Edge were the latest models to receive the update.
If you own a Galaxy S7 Edge in Europe, you should see firmware version G935FXXS2DRC3 make its way onto your phone anytime now. Since the Galaxy C7 Pro was released only to very limited markets, India has been reported to be the only nation as of now to get the same patch in the form of firmware version C701FDDU1BRC2. Strangely enough, the Galaxy A8+ (2018) is not being updated as regularly as its smaller counterpart, aka the Galaxy A8 (2018). Nevertheless, the model is now receiving firmware version A730FXXU2ARC9 with the March security update in Russia and Uzbekistan.

Can you guess which device we are talking about? Well, you don't have to because we will tell you! The Galaxy J3 (2017) has started to receive the security update for April in Netherlands and Luxembourg, but we wouldn't be surprised if certain other European countries have also begun to receive the patch by the time you get around to reading this. While Samsung has been pretty much on time recently with the monthly security updates, it's still March, so it's actually very surprising to see the April security patch arrive for the Galaxy J3 (2017) so early!
In fact, this makes the Galaxy J3 (2017) not only the first smartphone in Samsung's arsenal to receive the update, but the first phone till date from any OEM to receive the April patch! That includes the Google Pixel phones as well and they are always the first devices to get the monthly patch. Furthermore, Google themselves have not detailed the April security patch yet, so nobody has any idea what this patch contains and protects against!

Some reports are indicating that the Galaxy Note 9 might be released earlier than expected, but can you guess the proposed reason for that assumption? Well, apparently the Galaxy S9 and S9+ have not been as big a hit as Samsung expected the two of their latest flagship smartphones to be and this decision regarding the Note 9's expected early release has been presumably taken in accordance with the somewhat disappointing sales numbers. The report comes in out of South Korea, so there might be some credence to it, although, we are not totally sure at this moment.
Whether or not this is true is something that cannot be ascertained as of now, but there's no denying that a lot of the S8 owners don't feel the need to upgrade this year and that's understandable, given that the S9 and the S9+ look almost identical to their predecessors from the front. This report is backed up by two facts, with the first being that Samsung is about to start manufacturing the 6.38-inch AMOLED displays for the Note 9 in April, which is two months earlier than when they usually start the display production for their next Note phablet. Secondly, the Note 9's Android Oreo 8.1 powered firmware is also in development, which is also much earlier than their usual schedule. What do you think?

The latest updates for the Galaxy A3 are on the daily update list today, although it isn't the only model. Pick the right region, go through our tutorial and start updating your Samsung device with the latest official updates right now.
Before you start getting excited, let us tell you upfront that we don't have any pictures to show you today unfortunately (except concepts). However, what we do have is a spec sheet, courtesy of Geekbench. It's still too early for leaked pictures, but this one is a pretty big leak as well, given that it shows us quite a few details about the upcoming Note 9's internals and performance. Do check out the specs in the above screenshot.
There doesn't seem to be anything that isn't expected though. Some people are still hopeful that the Note 9 will be Samsung's first phone with an in-display fingerprint scanner, but that's doubtful at best. Besides, if you really think about it, is that really a big deal? I mean apart from the gimmick factor, what great advantage will be brought on by the in-display fingerprint scanner after all? What do you think? Let us know in the comments.
