These devices use the same hardware that all US carriers use, trimmed down in so much that they do not support anything carrier specific (eg: VOLTE, native VVM, Video Call feature, etc...), there is really nothing carrier specific to test except making calls and internet access. We should be getting the patches *before* the carrier devices. It makes no sense at all. Samsung, not the carrier, is the one who sends updates to factory unlocked devices. There is no reason at all we should be consistently waiting literally months to receive a single critical security patch, patches meant to be updated monthly. It is obscene. These devices are not listed as quarterly updated devices in regards to security patches. Everyone who purchased these devices should be outraged.

If you're on an unlocked device, Samsung pushes out your update. Not your carrier. If it isn't available via Smart Switch, there's no update. Shameful but true.

They really do not care. For any flagship device to be on a January security patch in mid-April is a disgrace.

When we got the Pie update in February many of us were surprised (well, not really) to only have a January security patch. It's almost April. Its March 26 2019 and still no patch. I'd hoped that after getting Pie that this issue of never receiving monthly security patches would have been figured out. It's like dejavu from when the phone first came out and it took months just to get beyond a February patch. What's the hold up?!

Amen dude. They really don't care and its gonna really hurt them. Google search anything vague like " s9 security patch" or "Samsung updates s9+" and watch the news articles that have popped up in the past few weeks. It's bad. Big shame is coming and Samsung, at least in the US, will be front and center.

So far they don't support any updates for unlocked models. They don't seem to even care about project treble and won't even talk about it on the phone. It was a feature I kept hearing about in articles and the s9 and s9+ were all touted as supporting it. However, here in the US, the Unlocked Snapdragon variants of both models are still on February security patches even though its mid-June! No resolution in sight and they have went as far as tell in ng me to contact Google about not receiving updates, let alone "monthly" updates. Waste of money. A total shame Samsung.
