What's New?

Coming to the changelog, the firmware adds the latest Android security patch, i.e, June 2019 patch to the device. It also brings the dedicated Night Mode support to the device. Notably, the Galaxy S9 and the Galaxy S9+ has also received this feature with the last update.

The dedicated Night mode, on the other hand, can also be enabled manually in the camera app to capture good images in challenging light situations.

Following the update, the camera will be able to click images with more clarity and less noise in low-lights. This will allow for an enhanced imaging experience on the Galaxy Note 9 going forward.
