Samsung updates the Galaxy S9 with a camera improvement and October security patch 4

Samsung released a rear camera update for the Galaxy Note 9 last month and now the Galaxy S9 and S9+ are getting a camera improvement, but for the front facing shooter. According to the changelog, faces will have improved brightness when the backlighting is strong. The October security patch is also included in the update, which was recently pushed to the older Galaxy S8.

“General stability of features” is also listed in the changelog, which is vague, but should improve overall performance. The update is only rolling out in Germany for now, with the firmware version G960FXXU2BRJ3 listed for the Galaxy S9 and G965FXXU2BRJ3 for the S9+. The OTA update is 244MB in size and can be found in your phone's Settings » Software update menu.

The update is again limited to Germany, but should have a more global reach soon.
