Hi,

I have a note 8 since 1 year, running on android 7.1.1 baseband : N950FXXU3BRA8, as i know there are many latest versions of android released recently !

When i do Check updates, it says my device is up to date ? Is there any new android version that i can install on my phone ? i mean upgrading to recent version ?

Yours,

Yours,
You can easily update the phone yourself using odin to flash the newest firmware version! You don't have to wait for your carrier to do it just go download the newest firmware for N950F and flash it and just do that every time a new one comes out.

If you're only updating you should be fine however I would still suggest you use Smart Switch from the play store and make a backup of everything on your phone so it saves the backup to your SD card so if anything goes wrong you still have everything and you just use Smart Switch to restore it all.. You never do anything to your phone without making a backup!
