Since the Galaxy S8 Active was only recently updated with a newer version of Android, it shouldn't come as a surprise as the latest update doesn't bring any new features. Quite a few of those are packed into Android Pie, as you can see in our One UI feature focus series of articles, and T-Mobile is back to focusing on pushing out security updates to the last Galaxy S Active smartphone. For those wondering, the Galaxy S8 Active is not eligible for the One UI 2.0 update, even if a recent benchmark showing the Galaxy S8 running Android 10 suggests that Samsung may finally be bringing three major OS upgrades to flagship phones.
T-Mobile has released the latest update for the Galaxy S8 Active over the air. You can download it from the Settings » Software update menu on your phone by tapping the Download and install option. You might have to repeat the process a couple of times before the update shows up, and if it doesn't, you can download the latest firmware from our firmware archive to upgrade manually using a Windows PC.
