Theres a 259mb update floating around with biometric and camera stabilization fixes, plus the March security patch. Have you received it? If so, name your carrier and whether or not you have the unlocked version. Still waiting here on the AT&T variant.

I got an update when I set up the phone with the same description but it's not the March security patch; still on Feb one. T-Mobile variant, though.

As SpookDroid said, no security update, just the biometric and camera stabilization fixes.

Got first day on my US unlocked version as well.
Just minor improvements on face recognition, other fixes. But still on Feb security update.
Don't think we will get the March one, most likely in April along with any launch bug fixes.

Got the Sprint update on Tuesday when I got the phone (ARGB) but it did not have the March security update. Still on the February security level.

Got the March security update yesterday on my UK unlocked S9+ by switching off auto updates and selecting manual software update (switched auto back on afterwards).

I got the same too. Also got an unlocked S9+ using a Three sim. Just tapped the Manual update and it updated.

Got it last night. Only the Feburary security patch though. T-mobile US with the unlocked variant G965U1

The March Security patch I believe is for the G960F/G965F variants.

Surprising that unlocked US model using Verizon/AT&T sim's haven't got the update yet.

So even though it's the unbranded unlocked version looks like they still are carrier dependent somehow? For example my unlocked model with T-Mobile SIM got the update and that may be because the T-Mobile carrier variant also got the update. Wondering what criteria they are using to push updates even though carrier firmware and unlocked firmware are different.

I hope they aren't having carriers approve the updates even for unlocked models. That will suck.
