Except for major upgrades, Samsung sends monthly and quarterly software updates that improve system security, and sometimes it also fixes issues and installs a few new features. The software update tier of Samsung expands at least 3 years but Samsung also gives 1-year bonus updates to some devices, making it a total of 4-year software support.
Previously, S-series’ old flagship – Galaxy S8 and S8+ also demoted to quarterly security updates. Overall, the one thing you should know is that both Galaxy S8 and Note 8 devices will continue to receive software updates but are now under the quarterly timespan.
