Sammobile reports that Samsung Galaxy C9 Pro users in India have started receiving the update over-the-air. Those users who haven’t received the OTA can check Settings > About Device > Software Update. Considering that the company has started the roll out the update from Wednesday, we can expect it to reach all C9 Pro users in a few days. According to the report, the latest C9 Pro update bumps the Android security patch of the handset to August, which still looks kind of dated considering the November patch is out now.
