Going to the end of support...

[Saponetto]

Bad, but expected news.

From now on, the Note8 will receive safety updates every three months instead of the usual monthly update...
As per every Sammy phone, this event starts its last servicing year before reaching the programmed end of support.

I don't think this is "really" an issue for most of us. The monthly security updates really don't address vulnerabilities that the average person would face anyway. The security updates don't provide any performance functionality or enable any features. In some cases, the updates break things (like battery drains and GPS bugs), so less frequent updates may be a good thing for some of us.

My SM-N950F works like a brand-new unit after three years, so I really don't care about troublesome updates.
Getting quarterly updates just tells me that it's time to start looking forward.
Residual year of safety updates will end very fast.

After getting the OS update that resolved my N950N messaging issues. I went back to using my N950N, I have all the latest updates installed on it. It seems to be running very smoothly.
