The update started last Friday, with the new OS rollin out to Bulgaria and Slovakia; now it have reached such eastern countries as ran, Russia, India, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. Samsung has not said where the update will and will not be released but, judging by the fact that it already reached ten countries, some of which are far from being top smartphone markets, we can assume that it will eventually reach the whole globe.

16 thousand cheating players banned from Apex Legends
Apex Legends is a good. Quietly crafted under EA’s publishment, it took the market by storm due, taking the palm of the greatest Battle Royale game out of Fortnite’s hands (sorry, PuBG, but your time has seemingly gone).
