Android Central Question
I got an unlocked Samsung Galaxy S8+ from Samsung, and currently have Android 8.0 (Oreo) on it. I recently switched from Verizon to T-Mobile and put the T-Mobile SIM card in. Now, T-Mobile is prompting me with a software "update."
I am not an expert in Android or anything else, but I am very suspicious of Cell carriers and their operating systems, since the Galaxy S6 and S7 I have with the Verizon Android OS on them seems to be proprietary (even though it is supposedly "unlocked") and has rendered the phones otherwise unusable on T-Mobile.
T-Mobile is suggesting I need the "update" to ensure that my Factory Unlocked S8+ from Samsung operates properly on their networks. I'm not so sure about this .... Any advice whether I should "update" would be most welcome.
