Verizon updates Samsung Galaxy S9 and the Samsung Galaxy S9+ with the June Android security patch
Verizon is pushing out security updates today to several handsets including the Samsung Galaxy S9, Samsung Galaxy S9+, the Moto Z2 Force, LG V20, the Samsung Galaxy Note 5 and the Samsung Galaxy S6 edge+. While the Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9+ are receiving the June 1st patch, all of the remaining models will be receiving the May version. Considering that the June update has caused some issues with the Google Pixel 2 XL and the Nokia 7 Plus, perhaps those receiving the May security patch should be counting their blessings.
Before you actually download the update and install it, make sure that your handset is connected to a Wi-Fi network or a strong Verizon signal. At the same time, you'll want to charge your batteries to full strength. Once both of these tasks are completed, you can start the updating process.
The phones that are receiving the Android May security update from Verizon right now include:
- Samsung Galaxy S9-(June 1st, 2018 patch, software version R16NW.G960USQS2ARF4).
- Samsung Galaxy S9+-(June 1st, 2018 patch, software version R16NW.G965USQS2ARF4).
- LG V20-(May 1st, 2018 patch, software version VS9951CA).
- Moto Z2 Force-(May 1st, 2018 patch, software version ODXS27.109-34-12).
- Samsung Galaxy Note 5-(May 1st, 2018 patch, software version NRD90M.N920VVRS3CRE4I).
- Samsung Galaxy S6 edge+-(May 1st, 2018 patch, software version NRD90M.G928VVRS3CRE4).
