The Galaxy Note 9’s support has now officially been discontinued by Samsung. As a result, the business will no longer provide software upgrades for the phone. The Galaxy S8 and Note 8 lost software support last year, thus the 9 series phones were next on the chopping block, so this shouldn’t come as a surprise.
You can see all of Samsung’s supported devices on its security update page page, along with the frequency of company updates for each one. The phones will no longer receive updates if they are not on the list. The Note 9 was just removed off the list, as 9To5Google found.
Just over four years have passed since the phone’s debut. In August of last year, Samsung unveiled the Galaxy Note 9 with Android 8.1, a Snapdragon 845, 6GB or 8GB of RAM, and a headphone port. It was a well-liked phone among those who were concerned with productivity and business, and it has subsequently been updated to Android 10 with less security updates.

Unfortunately, this implies that those who are still using this phone will soon need to start considering an upgrade.
The problem is that when a firm supports a phone, it sends it important security upgrades that keep it secure. There are vulnerabilities in the phone’s software that allow hackers to access your files. Although this is the worst situation, those flaws are fixed by security patches. A secure phone is one that has been updated.
As you can expect, a phone that hasn’t received an update in a while may be risky. This does not imply that your Galaxy Note 9 will be compromised right away. However, you should get ready to upgrade to a new phone if you truly care about the security of your data.
