Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Android 10 update, One UI 2, security updates, and more: March patch released at Verizon

Galaxy Note 9 update

Samsung Galaxy Note 9 is no longer the latest Galaxy Note device in the market now that it has been succeeded by Note 10 and Note 10 Plus handsets, but it’s still right in the mix for security and OS updates alike. The device will definitely receive the Android 10 update, though it has moved down the pecking order now. On this page, we discuss all the updates the device has received on various carriers (AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, and Verizon), including the monthly security patches, and also everything you need to know about the Android 10 Note 9 update.

One UI 2.1

The Galaxy S20 devices are among the most refined smartphones Samsung has ever created. So, it’s no surprise that they came with Samsung’s latest Android 10 build — One UI 2.1. Building on the One UI 2 goodness, One UI 2.1 brings features such as Single Take, Night mode hyper-lapse, Pro mode for video, and more.

The update has started rolling out for the Galaxy S10 devices as well. Note 9, on the other hand, won’t be fortunate enough to have a taste. As confirmed by a notification sent on the Samsung Members app in South Korea, the biggest smartphone manufacturer isn’t working on One UI 2.1 for the Galaxy Note 9 at the moment and might skip the update altogether. Of course, nothing is final when it comes to software updates, so keep checking this page to stay up to speed.

  • One UI 2 will also bring a few new features of its own
  • Available for the Global, US Unlocked, Verizon, and AT&T models (more details available in the Android 10 section above)

Samsung’s One UI custom skin was launched as part of its Android Pie build. It was later improved to One UI 1.1 when the Galaxy S10 was launched, and with Android 10, the skin will be updated to One UI 2.

  1. Anyone know why Verizon note 9 is not getting the camera improvements?

  2. My AT&T Note 9 also has the November 1 security update, Build M1AJQ.N960USQS1ARJA.

  3. I received android 9 update at 21 January in Pakistan on note 9 device

    Thanks

  4. Worst update ever and u cant change basic things! DO NOT UPDATE! First I have at&t service with an unlocked note 9. 1. Drop down menu u cant see the names or symbols when unchecked. Grey button white symbols and no text. 2. Stock messaging app main window all the names are grey. 3. Stock calender on main month display, all letters, dates and my appointments are all white in color.
    TO TOP IF UP U CANT CHANGE ANY OF THESE ITEMS!! I even went direct to Samsung and they confirmed. You cant see anything now in the sun! You cant revert back to old OS.!! These are just couple things in first few days I noticed in update. Complete garbage! Never will I update again if I get this fixed!

  5. So, the table above claims Verizon released the Note 9 Android 10 update Feb 11th. Then where in the hell is my update!?! It’s Feb 14th & not a g.d. thing! Verizon still claims to know nothing, so idk where u got your info from. I was angry before. Now I’m irate!!!

  6. Verizon has definitely not released the update. I chatted with them last night and gave them the link to your site.

  7. Verizon Note 9 Android 10 commercial update is scheduled for Feb 18,2020 a cording to Verizon Tech Support 10 minutes ago.

  8. Checked for Android 10 update this morning and it isn’t there like Verizon said it would be—–LIARS –go figure–they would say anything to get you off the phone.

    1. It’s live now! See the Android 10 section above for links where it’s been confirmed.

  9. T-Mobile lists the Note 9 update as starting Feb 23rd. Verizon has absolutely no info whatsoever & goes so far as to lie & say they have no control over updates & haven’t heard anything. They updated the S9, LGG8, etc. Why in the hell can’t they update their most expensive phone!?!

  10. VR DAYDREAM NO LONGER COMPATIBLE::

    For daydream users, the new update to Android 10 kills the compatibility.
    Samsung claims it on Google but it seems one flag that daydream looks for was removed by samsung.. lets hope they fix it soon.

    Help gain some traction to fix it; please comment in this post:
