Last year you might recall that the Samsung Galaxy S9 and S9+ were spotted at the FCC. Those were the international variants, and now it appears that the US variants of the handset have since arrived at the FCC as well , sporting the model numbers SM-G960U and SM-G965U. In terms of the filing, not much was revealed save for the LTE bands that the phones will be using, which basically confirms that these handsets are indeed bound for the US market.

T-Mobile recently revealed that it's going to update two of its affordable Samsung devices to Android 8 Oreo: Samsung Galaxy J7 Prime, and Samsung
Galaxy Tab E 8.0 (both launched last year with Android 7 Nougat on board). This is newsworthy because cheap phones and tablets are often neglected when it comes to new software updates.
