Samsung's newest flagships, the Galaxy S9 and S9+ continue to receive updates on a monthly basis, but most of the time, these updates bring security improvements only. Of course, there are some exceptions when Samsung needs/wants to add something important, such as a fix for a serious issue or a new feature that wasn't able to include at launch.
The most recent software update for the Galaxy S9 and S9+ bring support for dual voice over LTE (VoLTE) and voice over Wi-Fi (VoWiFi). The update weighs in at 425MB and is delivered OTA (over the air) in India, but it should be rolled out in other countries very soon.
Obviously, due to the nature of the changes, the update is very important for the dual-SIM versions of the top-tier phones, so if you own one, you'll want to look for firmware version G960FXXU1BRE5 (Galaxy S9) or G965FXXU1BRE5 (Galaxy S9+).
Besides support for dual VoLTE and VoWiFi, the update also includes some “device stability improvements,” bug fixes, and further improvements to performance.
On the Visible+ Pro plan, you get access to 5G Ultra Wideband data on Verizon's fastest network. Along with unlimited roaming across Mexico and Canada, 2 days of Global Pass per month, 3x hotspot speeds, 4K streaming, and Smartwatch service.
