The latest Galaxy A8+ (2018) might be a new device but Samsung isn't holding out on the updates, at least not in India. In fact, Samsung India deserves some applause for their effort in updating a device that has hardly been out for a week or two. The device had already received its January security update, so this would be its second update, although this one isn't the February security patch like one would think.
This is the same security update that arrived for the Galaxy Note 8 yesterday, which means it is very likely that this update will secure the A8+ against Meltdown and Spectre. It's a decent sized file at 114MB and carries the firmware version A730FXXU1ARAC. Although the changelog doesn't really specify anything in particular, do let us know if you notice something that we missed. In any case, we recommend that you download the update and install it as soon as it becomes available for you because this seems very important.

The Note 8 had received its January security patch more than a week back in most regions, but earlier in the day, reports had been coming in to confirm that Samsung has just released another security patch for its latest stylus touting flagship handset. Note that it's not the February security patch (like that would happen on the first day of the month anyway!), but all that the changelog states is "Improved Security." SamMobile reports that so far, the update has only been rolled out in Brazil and France, but that doesn't necessarily mean your Note 8 won't getting this same update if you happen to be in some other location. Let us know if you do.
Firmware version of the unexpected update is N950FXXU3BRA8 and just as the source suggests, this security patch will probably protect the Galaxy Note 8 against the infamous Spectre and Meltdown vulnerabilities. Whatever the reason for this sudden security measure is, do download and install it as soon as it becomes available for your device because this seems quite urgent.
