It's survey time! Tell me about the software on your Samsung phone

[Jerry Hildenbrand]

Hey hey ladies and gents. I'm doing a bit of unscientific research about how well Samsung has been doing when it comes to updates and you can help!

If you have a Samsung phone and don't mind taking the time, hit me with the answers to these easy questions:

1. What model of Samsung phone do you have?
2. What country do you live in?
3. What version of Android is your phone running?
4. What's the date on your security patch?

Bonus question time! -- Do you use Samsung Knox?

There are no fabulous prizes to be won and there are no right or wrong answers. But you will be helping me to do my job and I like having a job because without one, I can't buy cool stuff

Thanks in advance!

If we aren't using our phones with an MDM work account and don't use Secure Folder, then Knox is just there but not being used. https://www.androidcentral.com/what-samsung-knox

I don't use Secure Folder or work account.

I don't see anything for consumers except Secure Folder on Samsung's official site.

Some people may never use those apps. I never use them, since I used Google Pay prior to having a Samsung phone and don't own any fitness trackers that would use Samsung Health.

I love surveys! Having a degree in the social sciences, I'm always up for participating in research projects!

1) Samsung Galaxy S10.
2) Canada.
3) My phone is running One U1 2.1, Android 10.
4) My Android security patch is April 1st, 2020.
5) Not so sure about Samsung Knox, but I do use Face ID in tandem with the in-display fingerprint sensor. Don't mind Face Unlock - I never thought I'd say that.
