Verizon updates its Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8+ with faster face recognition and other fixes

Hot on the heels of the Pixel update earlier today, Verizon is also rolling out an update for Galaxy S8 and S8+ devices on the network. Don't get too excited, it's still just Android 7.0 Nougat. But, you do get a pile of bug fixes and improvements like an option for faster face recognition, navigation bar tweaks, and fixes for things like VPNs, car Bluetooth, and alarms.

The full changelog for this latest version (Builds NRD90M.G950USQU1AQGL and NRD90M.G955USQU1AQGL for the S8 and S8+, respectively) is pretty chunky, so rather than post the whole thing here I've made an abridged version:

  • Faster face recognition
  • Navigation bar "Show and hide button" updated to interact with a double tap
  • Alarm notifications on the AOD (Always On Display) fix
  • Briefing card update notification fix
  • Car Bluetooth® music browser issue fix
  • Caller Name ID app update
  • Smart Switch app update
  • For B2B enterprise customers: VPN and Knox improvements

If you do want the full logs, they are available at the source links below.
